Hi Andy,
Nice pics. I know Runswick Bay a little - used to do a bit of diving off there - beautiful place and I remember exactly what you mean about the road. Does it get snowed in often (I know only during the winter!).
I envy you your local scenery - I'm a coast person myself but lived all my life inland - and I know what you mean about not going there often enough - I live about 5 miles from the edge of the Peak District (nice enough scenery in places but no sea ) and I very rarely venture in there.
My son is about to get a Springer Spaniel puppy and, as his job takes him around the country, sometimes for 2 or 3 days at a time (and he is single, lives alone), I anticipate him leaving the dog with us quite often, so I might have more reason to get out in the sticks a bit more often. I'm looking forward to it actually as we had dogs when I was a kid, but when I got married, moved home, both of us working, and then the kids came along, we went for cats instead (more independant). Now got 3 Persian/Exotic house cats so it's going to be interesting trying to introduce a new puppy into that environment.
Hope the new job goes well.
Cheers,
PS
Can I ask you to do me a favour? When posting pics make them only as wide as the forum page width. Your pics are beautiful but it detracts from them a little when you have to scroll them from side to side and back again to see the full picture (and "No", getting a widescreen PC is not the answer - got one !!)
