I’m going to be spending the next few days trapped inside my mother’s hermetically sealed overheated bungalow, so I was keen to get out for a walk yesterday, even though the weather wasn’t great.

A massive shout out to @andycarolan for my rather spiffy new profile pic. Look, it’s me in avatar form, with coffee and cake! How cute is that? #RatherPleased

A couple of sheep-based pictures, because you can never really have enough sheep-based pictures #Defaidodon #SheepOfMastodon #Northumberland

Colour photograph, portrait format, of a wisp of white sheep’s wool caught on a wire fence. The wool is glistening with rain, and there are raindrops on the fence. The background is grass.

Sunny this morning, so we headed out to NT Cragside, where I totally failed to get any decent photographs. Just managed to consume some Christmas cake and a flask of tea before it started raining again. Now back at home, it’s very dark and pouring down. Is this ever going to end? #Today

Anyone know what day it is, and when the bins are being collected?

Sitting in the kitchen noodling on the internet whilst the bread bakes, looked out of the window, and this was happening #Sunset #Northumberland

I made a new thing for Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar - a hammered silver bangle with teeny copper hearts. It’s portrait, so you may have to tap to see all of it.

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar is another of my moon-gazing hares, this time on a hammered silver torque #Jewellery #BilberryAndBirch

This is another one that got away. I was going to keep it if it didn’t sell over Christmas last year, but it did. One of my favourite ever beachcombing finds.

I’ve been out for a very chilly and frosty walk this afternoon. The light was lovely when I set off, but it was already getting gloomy by around 3.30. I can see how people who aren’t familiar with the area get caught out in the hills at this time of year.

Colour photograph taken in failing light. The sun is setting over distant hills, just turning pink on the horizon. In the foreground is a line of long grasses, with a stubble field beyond, stretching down to a hedgerow, the a frosty field and a tree line. A tall hedge runs down the right hand side if the picture.

This was a bit of an experiment, but I was really pleased with how it turned out. Oak leaf charm pendant for #ArtAdventCalendar day 6
