Walking in Northumberland

About 40 minutes drive from home is Bolam Lake. I met friends from church and we enjoyed a five mile walk through woods fields and moorland to Shaftoe Crags. There were several short showers but nothing to spoil a delightful afternoon. The cow parsley and hawthorn blossom looked and smelt wonderful plus some extensive areas of bright yellow gorse. Lots of friendly conversation and sharing of lives. I came home and ate in the garden again. That's five consecutive days I've eaten all my meals al fresco.
