Just back from a few days in Northumbria, a friend has a caravan in a lovely site by a river and the van itself overlooks a duck pond and is surrounded by trees alive with wild birds and red squirrel. We took Paddy there last year and it was great fun if wet as it was during the floods, so the intention was to see how we would get on now we have 2 dogs and discovered that caravanning in the middle of nowhere in the rain with 2 dogs is pretty muddy! Anyway here are the lovely doggies at home gazing out of the front room window looking as cute as can be, which just goes to prove that looks can be soooo deceptive!

On the way home from the caravan we called into Graphicus in Barnard Castle to pick up some essential crafting supplies and say hello to the lovely people who work there.
