I chickened out of a group walk this morning because of the wet weather forecast. It brightened up in the afternoon so I walked across to Cragside. Quite a change from a couple of weeks ago when they were turning people away, hardly anyone was there. I tried the scone of the month, savory cheese and marmite! I loved it but I expect it will divide opinion.

I took a trip to Cragside and tried out the National Trust's new scone of the month. It was a nice walk with autumn colours and the calm day giving clear reflections in Tumbledon lake. The scone of the month is "red dragon", served with onion marmalade and grated mature cheddar. Personally I'd have classed the " onion marmalade" as a chutney, but pedantry aside, it really was delicious.

For anyone better at baking than I am they publish a recipe.

I'm feeling a lot better today. After not managing to go out yesterday I had a gentle walk with Poppy (my daughter) to Cragside, then after some refreshments walked back. I'm feeling really tired now though.

Thanks to @DavidTanner I am starting to see the attraction of black and white photography.
