Parental Autumnal Weekend Number 2
(Okay, I wrote this post before Christmas, when Autumn at least still seemed vaguely topical. But then couldn't add pictures. But now have discovered that blogger seems to play nice if I use IE. So here we go.)
So, two weeks after going away with my dad, I went away with my mum. She, however, did not come all the way down to Derbyshire, so we met approximately halfway (by time, not by distance) and went back to Embleton, near Alnmouth near Berwick, which those of you with long memories may remember as the location of the caravanning holiday that I only wrote one post about way back in August sometime before forgetting all about it. And I'm clearly never going to finish that one off now, so I'll let this one stand in for it as we did several of the same things. Except that this time we stayed in a hotel - which was good, as it was icy. I have once been in a caravan while there were minus temperatures outside, and it was fun but I have no desire to repeat the experience any time soon. Although at least these days I don't wear contact lenses and so would be spared that very cold and nasty experience.
Anyway. Weekend. Yes. We did many things...such as going for a dog walk on moorland with a view across to the largest hill in the area, the Cheviot, which you can't actually really see in this picture because a snow cloud is sitting on it. I liked the blasted moor effect, though.

We went to Scotland accidentally.
We took Cara out first thing in the morning (so that she could have her meal and her insulin jab at 8am before we went for breakfast) and nearly fell over on the icy roads at sunrise.
We walked round Bamburgh Castle.
Where some rather dumb ladybirds were trying to hibernate in a fencepost...
...and Cara looked cute on the beach.
And we rounded off the weekend on Sunday by driving as close as we could get to the snow, and freezing our little noses off in the ice-cold wind. This is where the earlier puppy/snow photo came from, but this is a slightly better picture of the landscape I think - although it was dusk by this point, which I couldn't really do much about.

Finally. Great pics, although I must complain about not being able to enlarge any of them (more headaches for you :p )
And Cara looks cute anywhere.
oh i came to add a comment that is virtually word for word what jes has already said!
Including exactly the same comment about Cara too.
LOL
Eek. Myo LOLed.
And yeah, I know about the enlarging thing - but I am so not caring about that right now. I'll just upload all pictures big until it fixes itself, I think. You can always go to photobucket and find them for yourself if you really want to.
Oh, but that means I have to make the effort. Grumble.
*is also scared of lol-ing myo*
