Probably one of the most famous trees in the world, Sycamore Gap sits in a sharp dip in Hadrians Wall in Northumberland. The National Trust site was made popular by the 1991 film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, it has become a top photo stop on the walk along the wall.
I’m done with “summer” now and well ready for autumn. I say summer in quotes as it has been quite a grim one this year.
This gorgeous tartan blazer is £80 from Joe Browns at Simply Be and I am in love. I’d remove the button brooch and replace it with something more me, but the jacket is beautiful.
Every autumn I embrace the country heritage trend as it fits so well with our lifestyle and this just has my name all over it!
Get in the shopping basket!
As we live in the wilds of Durham and have a lot of country hobbies, 4×4 driving is pretty par for the course. I own a big 4×4, my Mam has a Land Rover and hub has a 4wd Impreza (surprisingly good in the snow y’know!). When you own your own 4×4, you always know what they CAN do, but when it is your sole mode of transport, always prey you don’t find yourself in a position where you need to wade up to your bonnet or descend a 20 degree hill. This is where the fantastic All Out Adventures comes in. Based in the countryside grounds of Slaley Hall Hotel, a mere 30-40 minute drive from both Newcastle and Durham, you can roll your sleeves up and attack their custom built extreme 4×4 course. And boy did we attack it with flourish.
