Magical Northumberland!

I've just had a wonderful week in Northumberland. What a spectacular coastline! It is a beautiful and magical place. Below are some extracts of what I got up to:


Chillingham Wild Cattle - 'said to be the only survivors of the wild herds which once roamed freely through the forests of Great Britain. ' A fascinating story - it's well worth a visit.


Puffins on the Farne Islands.

The Gertrude Jekyll designed garden at Lindisfarne.


The beach at Bamburgh.



A dramatic sunset over Bamburgh.

The smallest gallery in the world - Part 2

I've recently changed the exhibit in the 'smallest gallery in the world'. It is a beautiful tea bowl by Matthew Blakely. It's handthrown reduction fired porcelain. I love the way the drips are caught in motion. Take a look!
