So Do We!

Living remotely in Northumberland makes me more aware of my natural surroundings...all of it on my doorstep. Simon Fraser has more to say.
Oh yes, we have lillies in the forest.

Oh I Wish It Were Christmas!

I know it's summer but I have to tell you what a magical place this is come Christmas. Just along the road from the barns at Kielder Lake the area is transformed into a Winter Wonderland with elves in the forest leading children to visit Mrs Claus in her house. There's ice skating, games and parties. It's become so popular you have to buy tickets way in advance.
Unfortunately it isn't being publicised for this year as yet but go here and see just what happens.
