The sky there on a clear dark night is amazing. Goswick looks nice, not been that far North on the East coast.

Kielder is the place to go for star watching it has quote the finest dark skies in England endquote

edited to add "the largest expanse of dark sky in the whole of EUrope"

Looks like they are going for Ivy lodge, I missed where it is. Did you hear?

no i was busy typing about Kielder

was it up near Berwick?

I expect they will recap. I have been to Kielder but I think it was when beer was more important than the sky.

I went to Hornsea the other week - not much I know but it was very quiet - and so decided to do the 'Withnail and I' Hamlet 'What a piece of work is a man' speech to a couple of seagulls.

They were not very impressed.

as far as i can remember you can rent wee lodges in the forest!! it's lovely Kielder water is lovely too. well worth a visit. Everywhere up here is really
it's all gorgeous

Now Berwick, not liking this. I would go for the one that I don't know where is.

yeah me too don't like this one at all.

ah it was in coldstream!! it's nice up there just on the border

Coldstream, they are having it.

have you been to Coldstream?
it's where you can leap over the scotland england border in the road

Harrrumph! If you say so


Seagulls never are! The philistines of the bird world

i'm surprised they've gone for right next to a railway line....weird.

I had to ask. Apparently we did go there but it is definitely up for a revisit.

That was an anti-climax but good ideas for holidays.

go up on the A68 won the AA vote for most beautiful road in England!! gorgeous - there's great big stones up on the tops for the entrance to scotland. The views and countryside round the border there is glorious.Haven't been for ages but used to love driving up there. If you're in Kielder just keep going for a bit and ta daaaaaaaaaaaa there you are!

Pssssssst.....planets.....did you miss Keyser's posts ^^^^

Just fetched mini me from the station looking dead glamorous. She is now in the shower and will emerge in her PJs looking normal She loves to wash London off!!!

No i didn't.

Awh hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend!

I hope 2017 is a much better year for you.

We are indeed having a lovely evening. Just stuffed ourselves with veggies sausage stew and will shortly be moving on to the apple cake

I have asked you nicely for over a year to leave me alone and time after time you have promised to do this. The last time was after you drunk PM'd me on the 6th September then again with the PM's on the 26th September. I've tried to be nice to you but you never listen or at least you pretend you do then a couple of weeks later it starts again.

You obviously read this thread so you will have seen my posts detailing the fact i have kidney failure and every time my blood pressure rises due to upset it damages my kidneys even more. I try to be calm and nice and post for fun to distract myself from the pain and the chronic nausea and fatigue. The people in this thread are lovely, they understand this and we have a laugh, it's a haven. Sadly you can't seem to hear me when i say I don't have the energy for you so i'm going to have to put you on ignore now, sorry.

Sorry.

oooo sounds delicious!! the buzzer on my oven's just gone off roasting some more red peppers last night's were lovely!!!! back laters x
