A Quiet Life In The Country: RNLB The Four Boys, Amble.
http://aquietlifeinthecountry.blogspot.com/2011/09/rnlb-four-boys-amble.html
A Quiet Life In The Country. An Observation of Northumbrian Rural Life. Tuesday, 13 September 2011. RNLB The Four Boys, Amble. No wind, no rain, no noise other than the Amble lifeboat coming into harbour with coxswain John Connell at the helm. Their pleasant chatter aboard was almost audible from the dock, the tranquility of the evening a beautiful bonus following the unpleasant August weather. A short evening, it passed just too fast, but so beautiful. Http:/ amblelifeboat.org.uk/shouts/.

A Quiet Life In The Country: March 2011
http://aquietlifeinthecountry.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A Quiet Life In The Country. An Observation of Northumbrian Rural Life. Sunday, 27 March 2011. Stuck In The Mud. During the floods that affected Northumberland in late summer 2008, the moorings on the Coquet estuary for Amble Boat Club were severely damaged. Some vessels were lost in the storm whilst members watched helplessly from the river bank. The air was fine and warm, no wind, such was the tranquility of the morning that an onlooker could easily be confused into thinking the work was easy and safe&...

A Quiet Life In The Country. An Observation of Northumbrian Rural Life. Saturday, 26 June 2010. In the beautiful setting of Flint Mill, I spent an afternoon in the company of woodworkers crafting their implements from green woods usng traditional methods and hand made tools. The kettle was constantly on the stove and although it rained, sometimes heavily the atmosphere was warm, relaxed and friendly. I look forward to visiting again. Yvonne Davies MA, ARPS.

A Quiet Life In The Country: Sweet Promise

A Quiet Life In The Country. An Observation of Northumbrian Rural Life. Friday, 23 July 2010. Chips duly eaten and feeling refreshed by a sweet cup of tea I decided to follow him just to see. Indeed he entered the boatyard behind the harbour and began to unload his tools next to a Northumbrian Coble undergoing restoration. He was more than happy to chat and allow me to take some photographs of him while he repaired a splinter on the side of the boat. Yvonne Davies MA, ARPS. 30 December 2010 at 03:29.

A Quiet Life In The Country. An Observation of Northumbrian Rural Life. Wednesday, 13 January 2010. Standing in tracks cut in two feet of snow by forest machinery, I held my camera with freezing cold hands looking around for a good vantage point becoming momentarily absorbed in the intense hush; no noise, no wind, the icy mist hung in the distance making the sky indistinguishable from the snow on the ground. He revealed that it had taken him two hours to get to work this morning from Barrasford and durin...

A Quiet Life In The Country: Newton and Craster, Northumberland
http://aquietlifeinthecountry.blogspot.com/2010/07/newton-and-craster-northumberland.html
A Quiet Life In The Country. An Observation of Northumbrian Rural Life. Sunday, 25 July 2010. Newton and Craster, Northumberland. After a week of high winds I finally got to go to sea with Gary Little, the only remaining commercial lobster fisherman fishing out of Low Newton. Excited at the prospect my constant chatter was politely entertained and we launched the runner heading for his boat 'Hauxley Haven' moored further out in the bay. Read about Gary in The Northumbrian Magazine October issue 2010.

In fact, her friendly manner was disarming and my first impression was that she must be around 17, 18 at most. Thinking it commendable that a young girl would have so much interest in the lifeboat, I asked her how she knew so much about it, a family tradition perhaps? A voice spoke from behind me, her Grandfather proudly informing me that she is infact a crew member, I was stunned! Yvonne Davies MA, ARPS.
