Well well dear readers of Wear and Dao, we've not seen Mac since Friday after his wonderful home made fish and chips Friday!
Saturday we drove over to the Buddhist place near Bellingham close to the Scottish border. .. The Land of Joy at Greenhaugh, where your old blogger volunteered some years ago, clearing the brash and planting native trees to create bioversity in the woods. This suited my interested in Buddhism and I stayed there a few days each time, joining the Sangha in meditation and philosophical discourse ...
Yesterday we drove up to Alston in Cumbria intending to have a coffee and walk along the South Tyne Railway ... only to find the cafe closed! Since the weather had turned rainy we drove over to Teesdale and Barnard Castle via Langdon Beck for coffee at the hotel run by Jane a friend from Stanhope where she used to run the Post Office some years ago. In Barney, since it was still somewhat wet, we sought a place to eat and found a place at the Redwell Inn for roast dinner for the partner and a risky curry which turned out rather hot for my delicate palate!!!
Today we stayed in, though the weather was sunny, and had lunch at home. A delicious (and nutritious ) salad was served and we enjoyed the day inside ... and walking around Stanhope in the sun.
Meanwhile it was F.A Cup weekend ... Newcastle eliminated and Southampton through despite being bottom of the Premier League.
Tomorrow of course is unknown and unknowable, though something will happen though nothing's certain.
