Northumberland

Last time we visited Northumberland, Les was house-hunting in Hexham. We loved her new home and we now have a destination with many fantastic sites on the doorstep.

For example Chesters Fort, one of the many Roman forts by Hadrian's Wall... 

...with its beautiful setting overlooking the River Tyne.

This was the Roman Baths area...

...with its amazing system of water channels...

...and odd visitors in the sauna...

...and in the changing area for the bath.

A short drive away we introduced Les to Brunton Turret...

...formerly a look-out tower along the wall

Next day we drove to Allendale but it was bitterly cold. Even so I had to stop to take this photo of rolls of hay, all ready for winter feed.

Hexham itself and a lovely walk along the Tyne

Back to Les's: George, Eve & Arthur completely at home...

...Les & Anna too (and guess whose socks they are)!
