The most beautiful spring morning! A slight frost … and a clear blue sky. This is the view from my front door (right next to the cottage!) May is fully booked now but you could still grab a week in late June… friendly

Anyone watching the BBC Two series 'Pilgrimage' - of course, featuring Northumberland ! And even better, in the second programme, they stay a night in Harwood Forest which is just up the road from here.

The pilgrims continue their adventure in Durham and visit the 12th-century Norman cathedral, where they are introduced to the ancient pilgrim tradition of foot washing.

Oh to see a golden eagle in Northumberland !

One of the things I love about Northumberland is the huge skies … you can see for miles … This is stopping on the road down from the Elsdon gibbet (a rather gruesome local landmark) but the views are stunning.

NOW BOOKED ! The last week of May is still available - more info on the website! Here’s hoping for an abundance of bluebells. The photo is my garden path last May - full of bluebells and dandelions which I also love. An important early source of nectar for insects .. and such a glorious swathe of yellow. !

We’ve got a week available in May still from Saturday 23rd - more info on the website https://www.townfootcottage.co.uk/bookings.
Here’s hoping for a glorious May full of bluebells. This is a picture of the gravel path in front of my house last May - I love dandelions too so I let them flourish !
