Well its time for my holiday in the UK for this year, for this week I’m in Northumberland, the northernmost county of England. In addition to being the most northerly it is also the most sparsely populated county in England and due to its historical proximity to Scotland the region plays host to many battlefields and castles, perfect for me.
Unfortunately right now its raining….yep pretty miserable out there, can’t see further than the end of our road. On the plus side though we have found ourselves in a rather nice cottage, incredibly spacious for three people, just look at the size of my room….
On the downside , much like during my holiday in Cornwall last year, I have a skylight, which means I can hear every single drop of rain which I’m sure will drive me mad. Hopefully though it will not rain all week, I will not go insane and I will be able to put out daily posts on my adventures here in the far north of the country. So expect more from me soon.
I used to love the sound of rain on a thin roof. It can be very soothing. That sure is an odd bedroom. 🙂

Yes, the cottage can bed up to 6 people but I think they could have put another twin bed in this room.

That’s such a nice room though! Looking forward to your posts, I’ve never been that far up north so will enjoy finding out more 🙂

As do I, weather should be decent tomorrow so we’ll be doing some exploring of the nearby coast

A lot of people find the sound of rain soothing – it can help you get to sleep!

I don’t mind the sound of rain spraying against my window when disturbed by the wind, but the sound of it falling onto my window every second of the night above my head isn’t something I enjoy

Think of it this way – if it’s raining so much at night there is more likelyhood of sunshine in the morning. Relax reelaaaaax . . .

I wrote a few posts on Northumberland recently – we were there at the Mayday weekend. Visited Bamburgh and Alnwick Castles and Lindisfarne, which was my absolute favourite. All pretty obvious – it’s been too long since I lived there to remember any out of the way places!

Wow! you have a huge room 🙂 when it’s raining like that on your holiday better to have a nice place to get cozy too for awhile until the sun shine again.
