Well it isn’t Norway where we should have been today (Trondheim to be precise) but as a sort of consolation we are in a very quiet part of Northumberland for a weekend of relaxation and, so far, it is going well. We are close to Kielder Water in a really very lovely cottage.
We were not in any hurry this morning and left home not too long after 10am. The plan always was to head to Hexham first to get in some supplies and have lunch before heading back north a bit to the cottage.
As it happens – Hexham Abbey (well worth a visit in any circumstances) was the centre of our visit. The Refectory Café if really very good and, for the first time in a long while we lingered and had a proper look at the Abbey.
What follows are a few photos that might give an impression of the place. It is fair to say that I have done more today than any day since “it” happened just 4 weeks ago – I am fair shattered!
Tonight we dine here and tomorrow we will take the day as it comes – it has rained a fair bit today and may well tomorrow but we will, no doubt, enjoy a look around an area we don’t know that well
