This is a beautiful picture taken by my brother - in - law's Dad, CE Turner. It is of Bamburgh castle Northumberland, and the landscape is typical of this part of the world. Rugged, bracing and beautiful. It has come as a bit of a surprise to me, having lived nearly all of my life down south with only very fleeting trips up north; once to Scotland (Iona) and once to Scarborough, I am beginning to fall in love with this part of the world.
It is light and fresh and of course it helps that my dear big sister and her family live here now for the past three years. I just love visiting.
It has been such great fun spending time with my nephew and niece, we have had some really good times, telling jokes, chasing one another on the beach, but really the prize has to go to my niece this time for making the funniest joke.
Its Sunday morning and we are talking about Christmas, (good topic considering it was mothers day!), we got onto the subject of religion (one of my favorite subjects) and my nine year old niece was surprised to learn from me that the only religious prophesy is that Jesus will one day return to the earth, at this she looked really glad and said " I must remember to leave my Bible out for him to sign "!!!!! What a Classic. What a comedienne!
