6 August 2026 Berwick

On arrival to the campsite I noticed on the waste bin in the toilets a sign that said would people please stop putting dog waste in this bin please, I have noticed it has now stopped because they have taken the waste bin out of the toilet? so I think it means we now have to put our toilet waste in the Dog bins. ????

Cycle this morning for coffee and pick up some lunch the picture on this bus is FAB think I have seen it before.

Have cycled across this bridge many times and used to joke I new what the initials stood for finally got it

Called in for some shopping before arriving at 1305 got a pitch where everyone takes a short cut across 10 this afternoon and I have now stopped counting.

Cycle along the seafront in the evening very windy.

Sat on a Chat table in Costa there every Wednesday and had a good chat with 2 ladies learnt some interesting things about Berwick from locals.

Walkabout back to the site and did some more work on a drawing I have to finish for Scone campsite DONE a cycle back into town for printing.

The buddleja  trees are very popular with the butterflies at this time of the year.

The building has doubled in size since I was last here.

A lovely day with high winds but still warm.

Just a short drive but again roadworks extended the journey if anybody knows a road without roadworks on it you are a lucky person.

On arrival a drive down to Blyth for a coffee then another cycle up to Whitley Bay.

The flower below did grow up to be a bit like mum and had a lovely addition in the middle.
