A Walk On Hulne Park, Alnwick
Introduction It was raining, but I thought that I needed to get out and get some fresh air this morning, so I thought I would walk around to Hulne Park and take a very short snoop around and see what there was. My friend Julie had told us that this was the Duke of Northumberland's "back garden" but when we went it was shut. It is maintained by Northumberland Estates and you can read about it here.

The Undulating FieldTop Story - September 2023
This is for Mother Combs "Twisted Endings" Challenge that you can read about here The Undulating Field I had a restless night and kept getting up for some reason, but I don't know why. Eventually, I decided I might as well just get up, so went to the bathroom shaved, cleaned my teeth, took a shower, took drugs and got dressed. It was six in the morning, and I was on holiday, so there was no need for me to be up at this unearthly hour, but I was and went to the kitchen and made coffee, instant, with oat milk in the microwave.

Introduction Whether we like it or not we are always moving forward one way or another, but sometimes that can lead to a sort of tunnel or blinkered vision. Someone said the past is another country and it is always something that we will have with us, we can use it to learn, or for pure pleasure, but it is a big part of us.
