My Day Off

the cheviot northumberland
A fabulous view of The Cheviot from a look out point on The Rothbury Moors. This is the road to Alnwick - home of Hogwarts, Harry Potter's School.

Sitting outside the cottage having a cup of coffee this morning I suggested to Harvey that we take a day off and go out. The weather has been wonderful and we set off across our lovely county - Northumberland.
I love how after years of working in the city we can now both just do as we please when we please.
Here's a little taster of our day.
fish and chips
Well lunch has to be Fish and Chips - this is England after all

Quite a rare sight these days - boys playing in the river at Rothbury

What beautiful photographs. It is over 100 degrees where I live, so these are nice to see.

Your day out looked blissful! Fish'n chips is one of my favorites. My dad was from Wales-don't know if chips are a Welsh thing too, but we ate lots of chips at home. We also had fish-mostly haddock which I absolutely love, but can't get here in California.
