A Walk at Derwenthaugh (Nr Gateshead) - 24th May 2021

 

Abigail, Heather & Symphony

A long but delightful day trip to pastures new (for us)and meeting up with daughter Abigail. Main purpose was to meet Abi and visit the house she is in the process of buying. This of course was coupled with an excellent lunch in a pub (first time for how long?) (and thank you Abi!) and a delightful walk at Derwenthaugh. The weather was good and we didn't get wet (bonus!).
