A cold but dry day today. The temperature was forecast to be a high of 11 degrees C, which translates to about 50 degrees. Did I mention that there was also a wind blowing?! Luckily all of us came pretty well prepared with layers.
This morning was in the classroom prepping for the field trip to Newcastle tomorrow and the field trip to the Lake District next Monday through Wednesday. We talked literature, and then everyone shared two photos that they have taken since arriving. The photo sharing was such a big hit that we will have another session when we return from the Lake District.
Tonight we went as a group to The Treehouse Restaurant that adjoins Alnwick Garden.
The Treehouse is a unique structure that serves a lot of fresh, local foods. It was fun to eat together –good conversation and good food.
The desserts were especially delicious, as you can see.
I may not be able to blog again until Sunday evening because Merton and I are staying in Newcastle with friends after the field trip tomorrow. We will return to the Castle just in time to pack up for the Lake District field trip. Time is going by very quickly!!
Do check out the puffin video that Luther has posted below. It gives a great audio of the ferocious wind out on the Farne Islands last Saturday, and a great video of the bird colonies on the Inner Farne where our boat landed.
