Morning, New Moon
It was a lovely bright, crisp but not frosty morning. On the lane up to the yard I was lucky enough to spot a shot I had been looking for for a few weeks, but the incessant rain had thwarted my efforts. The bonus of a full moon descending was unexpected!
Tonight at the yard there was a wonderful, almost harvest moon rising, I rushed back to the car to get the camera as the shot was damn near perfect, moon, trees, buildings. No camera, I had left it at home!
Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

The Parcel
To you and I and most normal people, this parcel is ....well a parcel.
But to a sump oil infused nineteen year old male child, this parcel is .....well 'The parcel!!'.
It contains, I am told, brake discs and callipers from something or other which will fit his wizzy little car, which is something or other completely different. Apparently the twain shall meet successfully and
a. Keep him happy for a painfully short time
b. Stop said wizzy little car more efficiently.
The former is OK as he neither drinks, smokes nor hangs around with loose women, (well there is one but she is at Uni 200 miles away!) and he works quite hard.
The latter is reassuring as he spends 90% of his handsome income making said little car even more wizzy! The parcel arrived this morning while he was out at, yes you might guess, Halfords!
As he has an almost dislocated shoulder, I hope that none of this is going to involve me!

Frozen!
I woke to a frozen world today.
The cars were coated in ice and and defying entry! Once they were open they wouldn't close! Frozen fingers and now, late for school children.
On the way back from school I stopped at Hexham and took some pictures of the Egger plant. If you have some wood composite, British made furniture, it probably started life here. Situated 25 miles from Kielder Forest and close to the A1M and the M6, this controversially located plant manufactures huge quantities of wood composite materials.
In this sort of light I find it strangely beautiful, though I fully understand that it's overlooking neighbours may not!

The Dark Side
Yet again, a day of photo-lethergy, I took the camera with me early this morning when I took No1 daughter out beating but ran out of time on the way to the yard and home, which was a pity as the light was interesting, with lots of fog in the Tyne Valley.
Too many distractions later, so it wasn't until evening, after putting the horses to bed that I made an effort to find something to photograph.
The telegraph post doesn't work quite how I wished but I still like something about it.
The Black Bull is a popular pub in Corbridge, our nearest neighbour.
