Winter Wonderland

Hi! Hope you have had the kind of sparkling Christmas you hoped for!?

I am back to work tomorrow, but want to share some photographs from Boxing Day when

Mr.L & I went for a run round the local reservoir. 

I don't know how the tradition started but every year the trees surrounding are festooned with decorations, messages and tributes to loved ones. 

On our cold, frosty morning run it really did feel magical.....although the run did take longer than usual! ;-)

Yes - he jumped in.....silly boy!

 Can you spot him?

 A surprise to look up and see.

A beautiful way to remember a loved one.

Does this happen anywhere else?
Please share....

Newcastle - City Of Light

I was away with work last week in Newcastle. I have never visited before but if I were to describe it in three words it would be 'City of Light'.

The skyline is amazing, so many eras of architecture. The riverside is beautiful - I didn't get to see it properly in the day, but at night it was just magical, so many lights reflecting on the water, changing colour. The City felt safe and the people were really friendly!

Here are some of the images I took - pretty yes?

I will definitely visit again!
Who else has visited? Any tips?
