Good Friends Visit Us and More Walks

My last morning walk and a circular route round the Golf Course via the Power Station. The Motto of this photo is Let Sleeping Horses Lie.
A great block of Sandstone on the Beach
Brambles everywhere and an excellent crop.

Lots of good habitat for wildlife.
 
On Thursday morning John and Sandria visited us from Edinburgh en route to see Sandria's sister in Huntingdon. While they were with us we fixed up a 75th Birthday holiday treat for John and myself with the girls in North Uist next May. We all celebrated our 70th Birthdays in Orkney so this will be another Island adventure. 
John and Sandria make friends with this young couple on Newbiggin Promenade.
On Wednesday we were joined for the afternoon with Bob and Pam Bowen. Bob and I worked together at Wilson Logistics for a while. He was based in Manchester but we worked on a huge project in Newcastle to ship 2 Submersible Ploughs for laying subsea fibre optic cables to Korea. This involved chartering a vessel to take them to Rotterdam and then on a huge Vessel out to Korea. We did it twice and made a lot more money on the second one than we did on the first one. 
We have enjoyed a week of glorious weather in Northumberland but it was no substitute for spending time with the family in California, where we normally go in September, but a good second best.
