This is the view from my garden and I’m proud that the place I have chosen IS really my home. How can one fail to be filled with awe and wonderment when looking at that view? After a long day at work teaching in a primary school, I can stand in my garden, gaze about and feel instantly relaxed. Bliss.

Saltburn Pier has always marked time for me, my rock in an ever changing world. Just to stand and watch the waves. Just to get thoughts back in order and put the world to rights. Salt in the air. Wind in my face. Cry of the gulls. Yes, this is home. Always has been and probably always will be.

. I grew up in the in area and used to walk up over here as a child with my grandmother. We would always stop and have a piece of dark chocolate at the top. Whenever I come up here, it always clears the cobwebs, relieves all my stress and it really is the place I would call home

It was the first sunny morning in Bristol for a while so I jumped at the chance to head to my local fishing spot to capture the fog roll off the water into the sun. This image in one of my favourites as it really brings me back to enjoying spring sunrises.

Skippool is only about 5 minutes drive away from where we live. It’s a beautiful walk through the Wyre Estuary nature reserve and our favourite place to walk with our lively Boxer dog. It’s a different kind of beautiful every day.

Walking here in the afternoon after long tiring days at work. The view is breathtaking, it’s a peaceful place and the mild wind is usually blowing at the end of every day! I miss this place…

We live in Sheffield and we love going to stay in Northumberland. We always try to arrange a visit to Holy Island. You have to watch the tide times when crossing but as you can see it is worth it.
