Another view of my front window as I love looking out onto the bushes and trees. It’s so quiet here as I wait for the electrician to arrive and put in a smart meter. The roses climbing around the window will bear yellow flowers, my favourite color rose.

Looking out the front window of my new home and wishing they’d take away the ‘for sale’ sign. 

My favourite flowers, English bluebells, are creating blue fragrant carpets throughout the woods. They should be fully open by the end of next week.

Picked up the keys to my house today and found all this alcohol in the freezer! 

I discovered that one of the largest boot fairs in England is on my doorstop, in Seaham. Lovely to walk around while smelling the sea air. Got a fabulous steak and red wine pie for tea, only £4! It was huge!

Built in 1905, the Hawthorn Dene Viaduct is the largest brick arch bridge in Great Britain. I passed under this beauty as I made my way to Easington Hive beach.

Seriously cool Brent Charlie drilling platform. Removed from the North Sea to be scrapped, it’s here at Hartlepool. Hoping my camera arrives in my crate before it changes too much, I can’t do it justice with an iPhone. This thing is huge!
