The weather forecast sounds grim but we are currently enjoying some great September days here in Northumberland. Sure we have got hit by the odd heavy shower but for the most part it has been sunny and warm. We are here ‘to do’ the castles.
For those of you who are not familiar with Northumberland let me tell you that it is still one of the best kept secrets in Great Britain. Certainly busier then when I first discovered this fantastic coastline but still remote and peaceful. So here are few images to wet you appetite and perhaps make your own discovery.
