The arrival of spring and warmer weather is always a blessing. The sound of birds singing and lambs bleating is a pleasure to hear.

Epic views over Housesteads granary this afternoon. Spring is in the air.

Early morning mist hanging over the North Tyne river. The cold clear air left a beautiful frosty morning. With the sun shining and the birds singing it certainly feels like spring is close at hand.

It has been windy on Hadrian's Wall. Even so, it is still a pleasure to be out. The low, winter, sun highlights lots of features on the ground. With such a low angle the shadows can often show Roman ditches, old small scale quarry site and medieval ploughing.

Imagine the hands that laid these stones. Strong, calloused, weather beaten. If the stonescould speak imagine the story they would tell. Of Roman legionaries and auxiliaries from Africa, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Syria, just to name a few. They would talk of conflict between Romans and Brittons and also of boredom and frustration. Boredom of guard duty, frustration of having your own land divided by an invading army. Imagine if stone could talk. What would they tell you?

Just in case you wondered why we love Northumberland...
Being further north gives us a longer dusk which equates to stunning sun sets, especially this close to the solstice.

Another fantastic day of tours on Hadrian's Wall.

Great to see everyone at Falconry Days for the National Park Experience Collection open day.

It is hard to believe it is winter with weather like this. Castle Rigg stone circle was stunning today.

It is a pleasure to be outdoors Langley Castle Hotel
