Pictures from Northumberland

 I know there are a few people who are reading my blog from outside the UK, so if that is you, let me explain where Northumberland is!!

It is a large county bordering Scotland in the North of England......

We have just returned from a short break there and it must be one of the most beautiful counties in England - especially for it's beaches and history.

Bearing in mind it is mid August, this is what the beach looked like between Bamburgh and Budle Bay:-


Then if you are interested in history, it must have more castles (apart from Wales) than any other County, with a few stately homes chucked in. The above photo shows Bamburgh castle. Below is Dunstanburgh castle and Howick Hall - home to Earl Grey (prime minister, inventor of Earl Grey tea and abolishinist of the slave trade.....)
