    Saturday...

    November 3, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    Sunrise this morning. How lovely to be back in Northumberland.

    Yesterday's trip was awful. Congestion and roadworks the whole way. We were late in leaving (my fault) too. So no lovely lunch. Instead an awful garage sandwich.

    But.... Bit of shopping and stir fry was had. And then a radox bath. And bed. Slept sound! So maybe need a radox bath every night. Although I had leggings on and I've noticed that compression helps where weighted blanket does not.

    Anyway. Lunch out somewhere nice today. And wellie walks in the field.

    Tomorrow is Restorative Yoga day. So looking forward to it. Actually in the studio with Lucy. It's been zoom since March 2023.    Read more

    Sunday Monday

    November 6, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    Saturday was a non day. No energy. But we went out for a lovely lunch. Proper food not sandwiches. And I got some treats from the deli. I love Rothbury Deli. It smells so good.

    Sunday... Yoga Retreat Day. A whole day in Lucy's Studio. 2 x 4hrs restorative yoga. Lots of lying down but I was still tired after. Subtle but powerful. Then about 10pm... Aurora Borealis. Whoop! My wee phone managed to capture some colours for you.

    Today... Alnwick. Cheese Shop lunch. Great chat with the owner. Booze shop for Alnwick Rum. Hope I have ice cubes. And pet shop (it's brilliant) for doggie treats. Other than that not much. Jigsaw, yoga, playing in field with dogs. Yet to have a good range around the farm. But you can see some of it from the Loo View.    Read more

    Sunday - Friday

    November 11, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌙 4 °C

    Sunday.,.. two Restorative Yoga sessions with Lucy, plus lunch and cake. It was lovely to be in the studio in 3D
    Northern Lights!!! The heavenly dancers. I missed peak of storm but little phone got some shots.
    Monday... Alnwick for coffee except we didn't. It was a bit dead. However the cheese shop did not disappoint.
    Tuesday... Not much done , but a second trip to Lucy's studio. Then a muck up about pub for dinner. It transpired that J was both hangry and pissed at his family's inability to organise a Christmas lunch.
    Wednesday... J slept in and we didn't make it to Holy Island. We popped to Alnwick to pick up doggie nail clippers then headed into the National Park area. To that wee village that we oh so nearly moved to. Beaten twice to the house that we liked. Oh well. East Yorkshire it is. We had tea innapub huge portions and well the veggie shepherd's pie was not a triumph. But I got loads of fresh veg on the side.
    Thursday... Iz came on train but arrived just before 4pm so day was done and it was dark. No beach for me this holiday. 😢. As I said before Alnwick not good for meals so we were rescued by the Oak pub on the roundabout.again. Good nosh. Iz and J had big moan about their family. Poor things. Outnumbered and expected to travel long distances for get togethers. I invited them all here for the Xmas lunch.... Tumbleweed!
    Friday ... Very frosty morning and photos of the farm and historically important silo.
    Little dogs foot was much better so no off leash! He had spotted other dogs, hens, peacocks and pheasants!
    A bonus yoga session at Shilbottle Hall then back to chuck stuff in car to travel south. Briefly met the Thursday zoom ladies in 3D. Squeee.
    Trip uneventful but long.    Read more
