Last week we had a walk along Hadrian's Wall from Housestead to Milecastle. Hadrian's Wall is a World Heritage Site. The weather was perfect for the long views.
We followed the wall that climbed and dropped according to the contours.

Looking along the wall.
 |
| It just goes on and on |
Along the route were various tarns.
 |
| One man and his dog, Jill |
Tarns were dotted along the landscape.

| Panoramic views |
The iconic Sycamore Tree.
 |
| Made famous by Kevin Koestler's Robin Hood |
In places the landscape was rugged.
 |
| Steep ravines |
The Romans were brilliant at building.
 |
| Do you fancy building on this terrain? |
I have been picking blackcurrants and have made some jam.

Yummy

The flower bed on my allotment.
 |
| I have a lot of flowers that attract the bees |
The dahlias have come into bloom.
 |
| They are prone to black fly |
I have made several wreaths.
 |
| They do not last very long |
 |
| Daisies and perennial wallflower |
I am growing lupins as a green manure.
 |
| A pretty shade of blue |
The monbretia Lucifer is now in bloom.
 |
| Vibrant red |
The mondara looks dramatic.
 |
| Giant pin cushions |
There have been some lovely sunsets.
