Charlie on the beach

It was a blowy, invigorating day on the beach at Seahouses when I met up with Sheelagh and Charlie for a session last week.

Charlie will feature in a 'dog-friendly holidays' promotion on "ThisisNorthumberland.com" a new online tourism & travel magazine for Northumberland & The Borders.

Bari Tea

"Bari" is Northumbrian for 'lovely' and it's a great name for this fabulous new tea-shop in Alnwick. It opened this week and I was there to take a few photos on the first day.

You'll find Bari Tea, and a warm welcome, on Narrowgate in Alnwick. Here's the website for further info.

Madeira Holiday Snaps

We just returned yesterday from Madeira - our 5th visit and a wonderful week. We know the island well enough to cherry-pick our favourite places to re-visit. What a huge effort has been put into repairing the damage of Feb 2010's mudslides. Only a few remote paths are still affected.

Dawn breaks over the harbour at Funchal. Minutes later it's starting to get hot.



The morning sun's golden light on a church door.



Photographers swarm round the market and I've some good photos from previous years too. It's colourful in its hustle and bustle.



fishermen in the sun at Funchal.



meanwhile up in the mountains...




...we walk along the cool of the levada paths.





Early one morning to catch the first rays of light on the mountains (only 11 C this high, this early)





Back in Funchal everyone's sheltering from the unseasonably warm autumn sun but the city's glorious colours shine out...







See you next time Madeira.
