Sun, Sea, and Scallops: Dawn in Amble

Out & About early to watch the sunrise at Amble’s breakwater. By some miracle of timekeeping, we reached our destination with scarcely a moment to spare, only to find that the most “pleasing” photographs were taken on the way, long before the appointed sunrise. Alas, we missed the so-called ‘blue hour’, that fleeting interval when the sky is supposed to take on an enchanting blue tint. ...

THAT UNIVERSAL TRUTH
Surprised by the desire
For once not to rush, the
Ambitious young poet,
Always on the search for
Another universal truth,
Slows his pace to match
His sister’s sedate carriage.
They #amble now, through
Trees and bushes, until they
Reach the edge of this
Stilling wood, and the air
Motionless, and in front
Of them that carpet of yellow,
The hovering single cloud, the
Hoarse rushing of the sea
In the distance, and peace
At last.

As people elsewhere in the UK discover Northumberland as a place to holiday and live, the beautiful northern coastline spreads south, absorbing the old pit villages as it goes. It's gentrified the old fishing port of Amble, which 15 years ago was a tough place, with no investment and a disaffected population. It's now thriving - without having been destroyed. We had our last walk of the year around the harbour, which still thrives as a fishing port. #Amble #Northumberland
