Full circle.
Winter solstice I had to do something, I usually do. My bag was prepared but I went to bed with no idea what to do. That’s a lie I knew I was going to the coast with my canon, the two C’s I’ve been sadly neglected of late. With no real idea I would probably stay local and with that I read couple of pages of the Lord of the rings and went to sleep. LOR, it’s a Christmas thing. Many moons ago I used to read LOR every Christmas period, well start in November and trickle through it and probably finish in February. I did this for many years and then I stopped, so just for giggles I decided to reprise the old custom this year, with one variation, not my old battered paperback which I’ve owned since the 70’s, which has got more battered with my children and lost I think. So I’m reading it on a kindle but it’s still the same words which are brilliant. LOR is a real story with a solid history and background, not your fly by night fantasy made up as you go along with an unhealthy lumps of plagiarism, JKR! But hey she’s probably made much more money than Tolkien so I shouldn’t knock it. Anyway back on Subject, I wake at 5:00am for the loo and an idea to go up to the Northumberland coast and visit a place close to where I spent the summer solstice this year. So a quick look at the angle of the sunrise and where to park I get out of bed and set off to Warkworth. Here is a quick photograph of my very enjoyable morning wandering the coast between Wark.worth and Alnmouth.
