Judith and I spent the last week of our UK holiday in Northumberland. On our way down from Scotland, we dropped off Jo & Aaron at Edinburgh airport to continue their European holiday (in Berlin and Nice and then who knows where…)
We were quite fortunate with the weather and our first day out was to take a shortish walk along the coast from our base in Alnmouth to the next village north, called Boulmer (pronounced Boomer for some reason. How people ever learn English I’ll never know. It’s hard enough coping with the various accents without pronouncing things differently to how they look. Or maybe people just couldn’t spell properly in the old days!)
Anyway, it was a beautiful walk, with plenty of things to photograph along the way. 😊

You should see some of our Norfolk place names and how we say them!

I can imagine. It’s the same all over the UK. I had a friend who worked for BBC Radio in York and whenever any ‘southerners’ came up to work there they had to have lessons in how to say the local village names, like Acomb is pronounced Ay (as in Hay) cum (as in come). 🙂

Try Happisburgh, on the coast two miles from me, famous for falling in the sea, pronounced Hazebruh. When I worked on the Broads hire boats I used to have great fun with the visitors! Strangely those that couldn’t understand me the most were Londoners

a beautiful coastal walk and looks like the weather played nicely along! Also, I agree… learning English- writing especially, is difficult, even for native speakers !! And yes… it actually does have to do with weird rules for spelling in different regions throughout the UK 🙂 A few spellings also got confused between Greek and Roman alphabets.

Yes, we were very lucky with the weather with only one slightly rainy day. More seaside pictures tomorrow… 🙂
