I know why the OH doesn’t like sharing Stoney; she knows she has to protect the public a little.
Oh, the sunset…… yes, it is a burst of fire from the heavens in my opinion, well run mate.

There’s a long, long waiting list.

And as the Other Half said recently (and Steph, aka the Roker Artist, seems wise to this, too), “they only see the hard-working, child and animal friendly, good sense of humour, earthy bloke—they don’t have to live with the crusty old curmudgeon!”

It’s all propaganda of course. The OH doesn’t like sharing…

And I’ll get a belt around the ears for that!

That is stunning.

I’ve been reading your great blog for a few weeks now (found it through A Roker Artist), and you are living the life I have always dreamed of.

Will you adopt me? Please? I’ll sleep on some old rags, really…

Absolutely stunning. Reminds me of a “sunset” I photographed when I went Interrailing with my mother. I dashed up a hill to take the orange “sunset” but later realised it was the sun reflecting on the sea. Still, superb.

I really miss having the dog. She’d get walked down the River Wear, or on Roker Beach twice a day, and though I’d often gumble and groan, as soon as I was out of the front door with her I was happy. I realised after she died how much of the year I’d missed because I just wasn’t aware of the weather and seasons, the small changes I’d see every day on our walks. I miss that.

It’s a big advantage of starting work before dawn and finishing after sunset, too. I never tire of nature, sunrise and sunset, or animals. People, on the other hand…

I have seen many over the years I have worked. The one advantage of nights are the wee hours when the sun rises as well as sets. I have a couple of regular haunts where nature’s finest never fails to inspire, a glorious sunrise over looking mist covered fields with the tops of the trees visible like sharksfins on a glasslike sea. The sight is there for a couple of moments before the lights changes and itis gone, until the next time. One advantage of working nights.

A cliche I know, but what a stunner

Thanks

Beautiful! Although I don’t envy your snow. I dislike snow and being that cold.
