Another blogging break, but this time due to a family holiday to Northumberland and Little Miss C's first holiday. A lovely trip where we were fortunate enough to have amazing weather for this time of year. The thing that stunned us most though was the autumn colours that we were delighted to see wherever we went. Even the trees along the sides of the A1 were beautiful! Nature's autumn show may not last long, but whilst it did it was stunning.
The trip itself provided a lovely opportunity to catch up with my whole family and to spend some precious moments with them. LMC also had her first trip to the beach, although she didn't seem too impressed by the expanses of sea and sand in front of her. The grounds at Wallington and Cragside provided her with much more interest and also exercised our National Trust membership. I also found the time to squeeze in a trip to the wonderful Barter Books in Alnwick although LMC wasn't too enthralled with the book that Mr C tried to read her in the children's section, but the model railway running around the biography section was much more her kind of thing.
Sadly my knitting project wasn't finish as I'd hoped it would be, but I am at least on the home straight now with just the final two border pieces to knit. PIcking up the required 200+ stitches from each side though may be my undoing…
