River Wear, Durham Cathedral, the Old Cornmill

I recently took some photographs with my drone of Durham Cathedral and the River Wear. I really wanted to fly a little higher but due to the winds this wasn't possible, but today the weather was much calmer.

A Bright February Morning in Teesdale

We had the loveliest morning out in Teesdale today. The snow was crisp, clean and brilliantly white – a rare little gift for February. There’s something wonderfully refreshing about looking out over a snowy landscape; it makes everything feel still, calm and just a bit magical! What made it even more striking were the flashes of green peeking through where the snow had either melted or never quite settled. Those soft contrasts between winter white and fresh green gave the whole valley a layered, almost painterly look. And after weeks of gloomy skies, the sun finally decided to make an appearance. The light bounced off the snow and shone across the fields, making Teesdale feel alive again. You might think it’s grim up north, but honestly – it couldn’t have been further from the truth. The place was absolutely glowing. A simple morning out, but one that lifted all our spirits.

Low Burnhall, Durham: Prescribed Vitamin D

A walk around Low Burnhall, Durham that felt less like exercise and more like a lifestyle choice. Glorious sunshine, a solid hit of vitamin D, and a welcome break from the mundane bits of life. A gentle wander along the river, plenty of green, and a few unexpected sculptures thrown in for good measure — the sort that make you pause and nod thoughtfully, as if you understand art. River Wear River Wear All in all, proof that fresh air fixes most things, walking counts as productivity if you talk about it afterwards, and this is a walk I would highly recommend.
