Coquettish

We stayed in a lovely cottage on the River Coquet in Warkworth and this little boat was calling out for a photo. The river is tidal and I had to keep going back to catch the boat in the water rather than beached on it's own little gravel island. I have some other shots I might post including one with one of the MANY herons that frequent the river banks - oh for a very expensive zoom lens!!!
Lovely mysterious quality to this shot. That sounds like a fab break - would love to visit that part of the country (they've got top folk music you know!)

@islawight It's brilliant - very quiet and an although it's a long way it's easy up the A1. I was gutted as we missed Sea Shanty night!

@judithg - sea shanty night! Fantastic. I have actually done some walking along the Northumbrian coast but we never ventured inland.

This is a great shot. I love the dreamy colors of the boat, very soft. The contrast with the dark water adds to the dreamy feel.

Lovely shot. Did you stay in one of 'Coquet Cottages'? We are staying in Hotspur Cottage, as it's just two of us.

@roachling Yes we did - they are fabulous. Victoria Cottage last time as we knew there were 4 of us going and Sunny Cottage this time as we assumed 2 + dog but then Rachel came too. Beautiful bedrooms but a bit short of room downstairs as it was too hot for the sun room - probably not often a problem! They are all beautifully kitted out though - I'll check out Hotspur - be interested to know if you like it as it will be two next time I expect.

@judithg
I'm glad you like them. I worry about cleanliness as I have OCD and am a serious clean freak and last year, our cottage in Pembrokeshire was dirty!
July 21st, 2013  
@roachling Well I probably don't look as hard as you but they've both been spotless.

@judithg
That's good. I feel fairly confident this one will be ok!
