Today’s prize for accurate weather forecasting goes to yr, who predicted 0% chance of precipitation. And we did indeed have a rain-free visit to Alnwick Gardens. Not many flowers as yet, but the sculptures and water features were most pleasing.

It’s been such a beautiful spring-like day here. We went over to Howick Hall this morning, where the snowdrops are gradually giving way to narcissi and primroses. And I had some cake.

Today was the only day this week that I could get out for a walk. I was prepared for the weather to be cold, wet, and windy. The snow was a bit of a surprise! Not an entirely unwelcome one though.

I saw a post on here where someone was complaining that it was quiet. It annoyed me a little bit because they weren't following anyone.

Started with pale pearlescent light this morning, battled through low cloud and mizzle in high winds, and ended with a bit of almost sunshine. All the things in the Breamish Valley today.

The 35ft Emmanuel Head daymarker, located on Lindisfarne Island, UK. Built in 1810 as a navigational aid for seagoing vessels. More .. https://www.trailspotting.com/2024/02/holy-island-lindesfarne-uk.html

The image features a tall, white, triangular pyramid structure, typically used as a daymarker for navigational purposes. The pyramid stands on a black base with a flat top. The sides of the pyramid are smooth and uniform, without any visible markings or text. The structure is placed in the middle of a grassy field, with a few scattered trees in the background. The sky above is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible between the clouds.

It was beautifully bright and sunny today but extremely windy. It was quite hard going in places. Still a few patches of snow on the hilltops, but mostly melted, making it quite wet underfoot.

The snow is lingering on the hills here, with temperatures staying close to freezing all day. We’re having to leave the car at the top of our very steep track, as it’s like an ice rink down by the house. It’s beautiful walking weather though.
#Northumberland #Walking
