Alnwick

A stroll in wet Alnwick this afternoon.

Alnwick Castle is where Harry Potter was filmed of course. It dominates the town, we saw a bride standing on a small hill outside the town when we were on our way out. She had the Castle as background...I was dying to turn round & take a photo too but I wasn't allowed! She looked lovely too!

We are in Northumberland this weekend to visit my elderly uncle who is in his nineties.
Staying at the The Allenton Inn, a blind sort of booking last night but it's very nice & has wifi so it passes it's test with flying colours!
We stayed at the Collingwood Arms last time but no wifi so we are having a change this time.

Three good things:
1. A new raincoat.
2. Very quiet roads on the way thank goodness as it was pouring down.
3. Apricot & almond scones in a cafe in Alnwick.
Nice composition to show us Alnwick. So want to get to see the Castle still. Ooh can feel the must have that shot!

It looks cold as well as wet but would be an interesting town to explore. I do like the sound of apricot and almond scones! Who wants a common old date one!

Love this wonderful view of Alnwick! Such character and charm. Would love to have seen the bride at Alnwick Castle...what a backdrop for a wedding portrait. Enjoy your weekend visit!

Lovely street scene. It is beginning to look rather cold in the UK. Pity you couldn't get a photo of the bride. Scones sound a great substitute though.

Nice town street view and a change of scene is good at this time of year. Hope you all enjoyed the visit 😊

One of my favourite holidays was in Northumberland. We stayed in Alnmouth.

Love the way you've composed the Pat. So glad you have a new raincoat by the look of this you're going to need it!

A lovely shot of Alnwick. I know it well, I lived in Northumberland most of my childhood.
