Day 66 12th JUNE 2011


First walk over the scary bailey bridge. Crossing the bailey bridge is quite a shoogily noisy experience, i got a good view of the river from it though. I reckon I might avoid crossing this bridge while there is vehicles, especially lorries using it..... might have to get used to it though as I need to cross it twice daily!

Day 65 11th June 2011


Simonside from Whitton, looking for  another view of Simonside but it was raining so I took it from the dryness of the car, hence the wing mirror in the shot........ well surely you didn't expect me to get out the car and get wet!

Day 60 8th May 2011


Bridgedale Antiques is one of Coccuveda's neighbours in Bridge St Rothbury, it is one of those shops that always manages to grab your attention, i pass it a couple of times a day and always spot something that I have never spotted before but they very rarely actually change the window. It is definitely a great asset to Rothbury

Day 59 7th June 2011

Rothbury has quite a few long established independant shops that help make Rothbury a unique and special place to shop, Rogerson shoe shop is a fine example of this I am not sure exactly when it first opened but I do know that people come from far and wide to buy their shoes here and quite often buy a few pairs at a time.

 Rhododendrons and posh cars! Cragside in Rothbury is quite a colourful spectacle at this time of the year when the Rhododendrons are in full bloom. this is quite an isolated bush but not in Cragside but in an equally stunning setting. Rothbury at the moment seems to have quite a few visiting interesting cars, I spotted this one today just outside Rothbury visitor centre.

Rothbury fish and chip shop and of course Chinese takeaway, it definitely stands the test of time as the chip shop has been here in Rohbury longer than I have,  I have been here 24 years.

Day 56 4th June 2011

This is our main road bridge in Rothbury of the river Coquet. It won't look like this again for quite some time as it is just about to under go a major strengthening job.

 Lady's Bridge from up a height, you can't see the swans from up here but you can see that Rothbury has lots of green wide open spaces and still some spectacular bluebells.
