WINTER 2019/2020
Although we have snow on the high hills of the Cheviot and Hedgehope, lower down at Firwood, we are snow free. Shame! However, it is very sunny and frosty so I am not complaining, it’s still rather beautiful. The series of photographs below, chart the view from the front of the house, over the valley to the Chillingham Range, from late autumn up to just before Christmas. The sunset reflection is on the pond at Middleton Hall, just along the road from Firwood.
Mike has a new project for the winter months, a Wolseley Six Eighty, which hadn’t been on the road since the 1990’s. He’s got it running (we’ve had a few local jaunts in it!), there’s still a lot of work to do to it but I think he’s enjoying it! It certainly is a very comfortable car to travel in. Far more passenger friendly than his vintage tractors!
Mike and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our guests, those who are regular visitors to Firwoodland and those who are still yet to arrive, a very peaceful and merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2020.
See you in the New Year!
Beth and Mike
