JOE McFADDEN, GLENDARROCH TO AIDENSFIELD & BEYOND

I knew it was a while since I posted a blog here.  Looking back it was actually June.

I'll continue on the seasonal theme, I don't know about the rest of the country but here up North (Tyneside), we are experiencing beautiful weather, the last two days have begun with a thick fog, easing to a mist, I live high above the river and it disappears along with the city of Newcastle and her bridges.  This is a phenomenon which never ceases to astound my children.  It is unlike a winter fog as it has the blue promise of an Indian-summer-day behind it.  Along with that are the beautiful colours of the trees, reds, golds, oranges.  I went out for a two and a half hour walk this morning just to take advantage.  My feet and legs are hurting but I'm glad I did it !

The end of this series of Heartbeat is rapidly approaching.  I suppose we can see a silver lining in the mysterious cloud that is ITV scheduling  in that it hopefully won't be too long before it returns.

It is nice to see that the JM forum is growing (almost 300 now) and Joe deserves every single fan !  Thanks also for the kind comments that have been left on the guestbook, the gallery is my personal 'baby'.  So I really appreciate that people are looking at it.    I'd just like to add (hope I don't sound like a pain) if anyone would like to use them as avatars or sigs they are welcome but please ask and credit ! Thanks ! 

The nights are growing darker now, something I find quite comforting, though conversely after a dark winter I love spring.  We mentioned this on the forum, it's nice to know others are affected by the change in season.  I am off down to the 'Big Smoke' in a few weeks, my first child-free break there for decades (obviously I was just a tot on the last child-free visit).

I do wish my dear 'comrade' luck with a new doggy !  of course they are irreplaceable but it is not so much a replacement as a new chapter.
