Lifepath...

Just a quick post.. I wanted to share with you about an awesome week I had back in June... 

I helped at a Scripture Union Schools event called Lifepath. It is so much fun, both for the kids (I hope!) and for the team! Lifepath is run at Brinkburn Priory in Northumberland, the English Heritage kindly allow use to use the buildings and grounds.

As the week was based upon the kids learning about St Hilda and set in a priory we as a team all dressed as monks for the week! 

Me and Lucy looking amazing in our habits! 

I was a Pilgrim guide which meant I was looking after a group of about 15 kids for the day and I  had to get them from one activity to the next. There were all sorts of activities ranging from the Jesus Journey (lots of stories about Jesus' life told in cool ways by a story teller called Chris.) to making mosaic and clay tiles! There were so many fun things for the kids to do. 

This is a selfie of my group of friends who were there! 

Sarah was missing when the picture was taken...

Sun, sea and ice cream...

I LOVE the North East of England! I am a city girl at heart but I adore days out in the countryside. This week my family took a trip into Northumberland. The plan was to walk from Craster to Dunstanburgh but due to the crazy business of a bank holiday Monday we carried on driving to Embleton. Embleton is a little Northumberland village with just a few houses, a pub, golf course and beach. Such a gem. 

There is a pretty walk down from the village to the beach. The sun made the walk even more enjoyable. 

After a picnic lunch on the beach we wandered across to Dunstanburgh through the sand dunes. Such a lovely walk with the most incredible views! 

This was the view as we walked from the beach towards Dunstanburgh castle... 

The weather got nicer and nicer as the day went on, I ended up getting very sunburnt!!

If you are ever in the North East you NEED to visit Northumberland. So beautiful.

You should check out this website... http://www.suefenlonart.co.uk/, she is my favourite artist and she paints the most amazing pictures and many of them feature Northumberland.
