After a summer of extreme #heat & #drought across much of Europe, the land desperately needs #rain to replenish dry soils, rivers & groundwater. Not all gloomy #weather is bad weather. Sometimes, rain is exactly what nature needs.

Hadrian’s Wall: Near Housesteads

The only section of Hadrian’s Wall you’re permitted to walk atop. Autumn leaves, blue skies and views north across Broomlee Lough towards Wark and Kielder Forest.

Not bad.
