It is your part of the world up there? We loved it there. The owners of the B&B were just delightful, as was the Yorkshire Pudding at the local pub. What blew my mind tho - our host looked SO MUCH like my 100% Norwegian grandfather! Could have passed for TWINS. Evidently that area is exactly where the Vikings landed/ one spot, anyway.
Yes, we are a bit of a Heinz 57....part Celtic; part Anglo-Saxon; part Viking.
Never truly appreciated the beauty of Northumberland till I moved away...same with lots of folks I suppose.
