Fulmar - Seahouses
What a wonderful few days I have had in Northumbria. All my plans went out of the window the first morning standing above the cliffs by Seahouses Golf Club. The wind was howling, the sea crashing against the rocks below and the air was full of sea birds, their white plumage in stark contrast to the slate grey skies. Now that is what I call a real British summer.
I had planned to go to the Farne islands, only two miles off shore but suddenly it struck me - why? Why do I need to build my break around one event/day? Of course the answer was that there was no need and you know what it made the break even better.
So why am I not still sampling the delights of the North East? Well, last night there were severe weather warnings given out for the area. Heavy rain all day. So we could either stay put and watch the heavy rain through the windscreen of a car/house or make our way home. We decide the latter and drove home on Thursday evening. I'm glad we did - the roads were clear and although the weather was bad it was a lot easier driving in those conditions with little traffic on the road than spend the day travelling down the A1 with some Polish lorry driver only a metre from your rear bumper.
So the next few days will be spent working through images and make a few good photographs. Let the games begin! If you want to see the photographs as they are produced then click here:
