Midsummer...

[curiouswombat]

I should have posted this picture the day I took it, but I got sidetracked.

This is what midsummer's day looked like, in the early afternoon, here on the island.



There is actually a tower on that headland. Honestly. You can see it in this picture that I took a few weeks ago. But the mist was hiding it on June 21st.

I think it could be said that it was not quite summer solstice weather.

Secondly -

But they are well contained and should not take over the whole area like their predecessor!



And thirdly - Shirebound was asking about childhood treasures and memories - I will post mine later - either later tonight, or tomorrow.

One of the things I like about Northumberland is the wilds - I had never seen scenery like it until I moved up here.

It is a beautiful county. Mind you, ITV showed this programme (http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=319732) yesterday which gives you some idea of why I like wild countryside - even though home and Northumberland are not quite the same.

(If you did watch, or do, oddly enough the young lady in the folk museum is my niece - such coincidences are often thrown up in island life!)

I cannot get it to play - the screen goes black when I press to play. Flash is enabled so I have no idea what is going on. Sigh! It is like that for the whole site.

Odd - I could see the ITV site might be like the BBC and so might be unavailable outside the UK -but I didn't think Northumberland had declared independence!

I live in Tyne and Wear - but they are not independent either - sigh! I wonder if I can get it through my PS3. I have never had problems with it before. Unless there is a fault on the site.
