03 December 2011 - Spittal, Northumberland.
This morning we walked along the beach at Spittal again, before visiting Berwick in the afternoon.
It was windy and cold but otherwise a lovely morning with clear blue skies, as seen in the first photo below, where some dog walkers were well wrapped up.
In the second photo a branch from a laurel bush lies on the beach, looking as if it had been blown there by the strong overnight winds. The next three photos are views of the beach at the mouth of the River Tweed where plenty of driftwood was lying about.
