Thanks Andy.... 
I hope everyone has a Happy Easter.
4-days in the garden for us down here in the sunny south....Radio 2 on the solar Radio, rattling away in harmony with the satisfying hum of distant lawn mowers, all punctuated with the odd intrusion by a wayward football in search of my tummy as I lay, gently roasting in the Easter sun. |

Yep, happy holidays to everyone....
As Andy says, four days of sun predicted for Newcastle - so we'll be sitting in six feet of snow come Monday! 
I'm inclined to pack the tent etc. into the car and head for the hills for a few days....

The joys of washing the car and cutting the grass beckon. There again, so does catching up on lost sleep and looking for a new motor, and, of course Doctor Who.

Yes, Happy Easter Everyone.
Scotland is already cooking, 23 degrees C here yesterday!
Easter did not used to be a big holiday in Scotland but now we have more sense!

Hmm, my other half has me cutting the lawn too and shifting the bed of stone chipping!! I can feel me poor back crying already! Still, as you say - we got Doctor Who to look forward to....

Isn't that where folks in Roman days submitted copious amounts of money for a folded piece of paper with a few words and stupid drawing on it followed by the ritual of "look at once and throw away"?
oh, and the ancient art of stuffing one's self with overpriced chocolate eggs with a strange rabbit connection... |

Down here we play marbles on the Village Green on Good Friday, then go to the Pub. Can't wait.
And Happy Easter, or 4 days holiday (if you prefer), to all. |

Love the picture, Nat - and Happy Easter to you! xx
So far, managed to cut the lawn and dig the borders in the front garden this morning, then got bored with gardening and went for a walk up Simonside, near Rothbury in Northumberland:
You might be able to make out the graffiti in the middle shot - dated 1865!

Oh, I do some proper walking as well.... it's good for a change to simply get out and enjoy the countryside as opposed to going to maybe two specific spots on hillsides for photographic reasons.
I must be getting slow in my old age, though - it took me an hour to do The Beacon, Dove Crag and Simonside, even running some of the way....

Hi Cherskiy
I hope the traffic had eased when you headed to Simonside! We had been to Heighley Gate first thing - but when we came back about 12pm, the traffic was horrendous, going North! Lots of caravans in the queue just where the road goes down to a single lane!
I'm glad we were headed South!
Last time we went to Simonside, was January, just after the storms. There were lots of fallen trees.

I made sure I was up there reasonably early.
I passed Heighley Gate heading home around 1300 - there was the usual Bank Holiday crawl in the other direction along the Morpeth bypass, clocked it at about two miles long. I usually take back roads heading north on days like this one. No-one in their right mind would use the A1 north of Morpeth after about 1130 on a Bank Holiday unless they weren't bothered about getting to their destination....
There are still plenty of fallen trees below Dove Crag and along some of the paths down through the forest - had to climb over some of them as they were blocking the way.
