Winter Flowering Cherry

Prunus x subhirtella 'Autumnalis' in full flower in our orchard today.

Sleet.....

After a glorious if chilly afternoon, the weather abruptly changed around six, when temperature plunged and sleet blasted into the cottage from the moors and Hexhamshire.......

Velvet Shank Fungi

Found these lovely, delicate little Velvet Shank (Flammulina velutipes) fungi in the Pikewell fields near Slaley yesterday.

Fungi Gills

We spotted this fungi, among others on a dog walk round the fields this morning.

Afternoon Sky - Slaley

Pikewell Fields

A late afternoon walk round the Pikewell fields behind the cottage with all the dogs, the sun setting over the golf course.  I must get up there early one morning, I had forgotten how good the view to the north is.

Moon Gazing

We have been blessed with almost perfect weather for viewing the moon over the last couple of weeks.
