Touring North Yorkshire Dale's this week, today we had a look just how isolated CJ Owens farm was, the TV Sheppardess. Believe me the family of eleven live in absolute isolation. This was on the way up with a blanket of cloud across the valley below us. The scenery was spectacular.
It's top side of Buttertubs isn't it?

The sea was a bit wild yesterday morning. Marine Parade strewn with wood and a few rocks thrown up by the tide. Sorry, don’t know why some pics have duplicated.
Came across this young couple waiting for high tide
today any idea where I was.

Newbiggin, Northumberland. I claim my prize!
Thanks for bringing back happy memories of our UK trip in 2010.
This statue was once described as an “eye-wounding erection”, but we thought it was the only thing worth seeing in Newbiggin, a rather sad, down-at-heel town.

I'm both amazed and impressed Kiwicampers.
That is incredible, if I had a prize it would be on it's way to you first class. I must agree with whomever said that newbiggin had very little to offer, it didn't do it for me either. Thanks for the post...

Went for a walk from Hope Cove, South Devon, this morning.
Perfect weather and very clear, we could see about fifty miles down the coast to about Nare Head beyond St Austell.
Mis-fired arty shot here of a flag tree against the sun.
We had lunch in one of the pods at the Cottage Hotel in Hope Cove. Curious things but good views from them.

Thanks moo it's a small world ain't it. I visited somewhere that I though would be unknown to anyone but me, within ten minutes the lovely kiwicampers responded from Newzeland identifying these statues. Now the celebrity my hero Old Moo tells me he has a house there and he is not the only one. It is a pity I'm now back over on the west coast at windermere for the next few days so I guess a days fishing is out..Yes.. Newbiggin - by - the - sea...

I read today the striking sunsets we have had for the past few months are due to two volcanoes which erupted earlier this year.
I guess this also applies to sunrises.
The thing i read, from today's Times was:
"Beautiful coloured skies have appeared at dawn and dusk over parts of the country. Now that a high-pressure system has cleared off the grey clouds that made November so gloomy, the clear skies have brought some glorious sunrises and sunsets. Stunning twilights have glowed yellow, orange and purple.
As the sun rises or sets low on the horizon, sunlight passes through far more atmosphere than during the day, up to 40 times the amount compared with the sun at noon in summer. That air is also denser because it is at the bottom of the atmosphere. More molecules and small particles in the air scatter violet and blue light away from our eyes and we see other colours, often yellow, orange and red.
At twilight, when the sun is below the horizon, the glow of a yellow-orange dome of light — the twilight arch — often appears. This coloured arch is light scattered by molecules and small particles in the atmosphere as sunlight beams upwards in the atmosphere.
There have also been intense purple bands of colour lasting for a short while in the twilight skies. That purple comes from a mixture of blue and red light. High-altitude rays of sunlight pass through rarefied air and are not reddened, and ozone makes them bluish, while low-altitude sunrays are highly reddened.
These intense twilights have been seen since the summer, and were created by two highly explosive volcanic eruptions that shot dust and sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere. The Raikoke volcano erupted in the Kuril Islands in far-eastern Russia on June 22, and the Ulawun volcano in Papua New Guinea on August 3. Each blasted gases and dust more than 18km high, enough to penetrate the stratosphere. The sulphur dioxide from those eruptions turned into sulphate aerosol and, combined with volcanic dust, scattered the light to create stunning twilights, even several months after the volcanoes first erupted."
If that is Sizewell Larry your bedroom must be facing south.

Not Sizewell Buttons, slightly south of east directly out to sea and the bright light on the horizon is the top of the sun appearing.
I always take a camera when I go to bed at night just in case there is something out to sea worth snapping.

Visited this old hospice at Beaune. Very impressive and even better with an audio tour. It was still in use up to 1955, now it’s been rebuilt as it used to be when it housed around 120 sick people.
