It’s only November but I’m already dreaming of summer. Here’s a reminder of Heavenfield, Northumbria, last June. xx 😍

Argos sell them. Here’s a clip of the sound mine makes - you might have to turn the volume up to hear it as it’s not very loud. Mr M can’t hear it at all, so I don’t know if you will, but it’s worth a try. We don’t have an open fire here, but I find this a good substitute for the sound. 😊 xx

50 seconds of peaceful river Tees flowing through Forest-in-Teesdale below High Force waterfall. xx #natureclips

And here’s a clip of High Force waterfall. The sound is pretty tremendous up close, especially as magnified by the rocky gorge. #Teesdale

Thanks Jess. We saw only a small part, walked from the Marketplace up to the Cathedral and down to Prebends Bridge, that’s all. We stopped briefly on the Bridge to look at the river. I didn’t know it had actually flooded, but I’m not surprised to hear it, because it did look *very* full! xx

Neighbours’ fireworks. Our dog is terrified and shaking. It’s like a war zone out there. 😢
