  6. This place is fascinating, and the guy who built it was basically a real-life 1800s Tony Stark.

  16. Got a week off so we headed up to National Trust treasure Cragside today. Glorious weather! Beautiful trees, and the rhododendrons are about to pop out soon so we’ll be back. Always a great place for a walk. Spent 5 mins stood waiting in silence for a little thrush gathering worms so I didn’t disturb her. Perfect ❤️

  23. I chickened out of a group walk this morning because of the wet weather forecast. It brightened up in the afternoon so I walked across to Cragside. Quite a change from a couple of weeks ago when they were turning people away, hardly anyone was there. I tried the scone of the month, savory cheese and marmite! I loved it but I expect it will divide opinion.

  24. I took a trip to Cragside and tried out the National Trust's new scone of the month. It was a nice walk with autumn colours and the calm day giving clear reflections in Tumbledon lake. The scone of the month is "red dragon", served with onion marmalade and grated mature cheddar. Personally I'd have classed the " onion marmalade" as a chutney, but pedantry aside, it really was delicious.

    For anyone better at baking than I am they publish a recipe.

  25. I'm feeling a lot better today. After not managing to go out yesterday I had a gentle walk with Poppy (my daughter) to Cragside, then after some refreshments walked back. I'm feeling really tired now though.

    I absolutely had to try this, so I took a walk over to Cragside What a wonderful combination of flavours.

  28. I walked from my house to #Cragside today, where I took some pictures as I walked up to Nelly's Moss lake. Here I bought myself a coffee and a flapjack before walking home again. A lovely day.

  29. I visited #Cragside today. Damp grey days have a beauty of their own. I'm so lucky to live in beautiful #northumberland .

  30. Robin, spotted at Cragside this afternoon. I think it was hoping for some cake crumbs!

    Possibly the hardest of the sketches I did for the 2019 exhibition due to the geometric precision of the structure - all drawn out very carefully in pencil first before committing pen to paper!
