One of the great things about our new place is its location: very close to the walking paths that connect Durham to Ushaw Moor, Bishop Auckland, and Lanchester--just to name a few of the nearby towns. The morning walk is wonderful, especially with the sun rising so early. By eight, the sun is high, if hidden by clouds.
Summer in Britain is not hot and sunny. Mostly it is cool, often cloudy, and one can never depend on having a rainless day. But one can depend on great foliage, interesting skies and a ruined castle to visit on a nice afternoon. To the right is Prudhoe castle, which we visited a couple of weeks ago. The moat has been converted into a path around the castle, which was just the right length for the kids to walk. And we finished just in time to beat the rain back to the car.
