So, its the time of the year when its all going on… and this means we are running about doing whatever it is that can be done based on the days demands and needs… surfing. biking. diving. fishing. walking…. and more..
This time last year we were knee-deep in snow. Well, you were, I managed to make it out of the country on the last flight from Newcastle before they shut the airport due to the weather.
And look at it now – its like Spring – blue skies, sunshine, double figure temperatures… and since im still here, I have been making the most of it with some long walks along the coast.
All these shots are taken with my iPhone, and far from being high-grade, yet still capture the coast in its glorious autumn light… :)
Im off to Indonesia for a month… more at Christmas…
With only a couple of weeks notice, the village of Beadnell was treated to a very special one-day music festival put together by Michael at the Craster Arms.

It was a great day, with sprinklings of sunshine and rain, but the crowd was resolute and the weather did nothing to dampen the spirits.
The crowd was a great mix of families, old and young, with locals and visitors alike sharing the merriment and enjoying the day.
By 7am the next morning the entire garden was clean and clear and no-sign of the huge numbers of people could be seen – a credit to all the staff and helpers who worked so hard.
We look forward to next year when the festival will get bigger and better !! Bring-on 2011 :D.
