19th May 2008 Wallington revisited

The forecast was sunny, and a little warmer inland that the rather cool 10C forecast for the coast, so we decided on a return visit to Wallingford to go round the house

And a little closer to Alnwick I took these four images all within a few yards of each other, in the sort of spot once described by Ansell Adams
"Sometimes I get to a place where God has arranged everything and is just waiting for someone to come along and press the shutter."
This was one such place!

After tea I went for a walk along the beach in the direction of Seahouses: it was pretty quiet, with just a man and wife and dog to add a little detail to the scene, and for once quite mild
