These Days

These days have been lots of time spent at home. Painting, decorating, chopping firewood and just enjoying the new space. This house feels like a proper home, and for the first time I really appreciate just spending the day in the house, doing some random task like painting kitchen tiles (always lots of mess, see second photo).

The latest coastal walks. The fish quay, Whitley Bay, and Alnmouth, We haven’t been going too far lately, being content to just wander round our regular haunts. We’re saving the big exploring and proper road trips for next year.

So far at the new house…

Blacksmith - Stephen Lunn

Driving home from Craster after a walk with the dog, we took some back roads to see if we’d stumble upon anything interesting. We actually struck gold… first finding the Broomhill water tower (journal post here), then driving a little further and spotting this Blacksmiths. We knocked on the door and at risk of disturbing his work, thought we’d say hi and ask if I could take some photos. We got a full tour of all the buildings, saw some amazing cars and vans and got a preview of some of his works in progress. A very talented, mega friendly guy… it was a pleasure to meet Stephen Lunn. See his work here!
