After a wonderful Pentecost Service by our Minister, we celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with refreshments and cakes in our church hall. Everyone was in good spirits after such a joyful weekend…a surprise royal guest turned up too!
Although some of us had done this walk before it is still a lovely one. As it was holiday time, we had all the Cartwright family which was a bonus, as well as others here on holiday, so we were 16 in all! The regular advance parties were already there when we arrived, finishing their […]

Twelve of us met at the layby near Denwick Bridge and headed off towards Peter’s Mill. The Cycle Track was new to some of the group, while the number of houses being built was rather depressing. It was good to see that Lough House, where the Tears lived, was being renovated. After crossing the Aln we walked up through the beech […]

26th November Little did we know this would coincide with STORM ARWEN! We’d just finished cooking the Pizzas when the power went off, and the emergency lighting came on. One way of finding out it works! A fun time making mats with Hama Beads, then hot chocolate and biscuits before heading for sleeping bags and […]
Saturday 4th December Almost 70 Rainbows, Brownies and Guides from Alnwick, Shilbottle, Felton, Longframlington and west to beyond Rothbury and Thropton, all had a happy afternoon making Christmas Crafts to take home.
