About This Blog

This blog was originally started as a thread on the forum pages of an animal rescue site. Now it's here!

The articles you find in here are purely for entertainment (yours and mine) and (with one or two exceptions) are all tongue-in-cheek chronicles of the World (my bit, anyway) as I see it.
No disrespect is intended towards anyone unless I make a mistake and make it too obvious.

I hope you enjoy my offerings. Feedback and comments of any kind are welcome.

Bamburgh Castle April 2013

Bamburgh Castle

Disney have filmed here.
 
Polanski's Macbeth was filmed here.
 
Bits of the Harry Potter movies (so I've been told) were also filmed here. 
 
Here are a few of my snaps of this historic place.
 
I haven't labelled any of them due to Blogger being a pain in the ... derriere! 
 
The islands you can (only just see) in some pictures are the Farne Islands

Enjoy!
