Nenthead

Over to the beautiful  North Pennines today to see friends. The sun has been out all day and the snow has melted a bit and is starting to expose some of the soil and around Nenthead  the waste piles from the original lead mining industry. This sort of winter landscape originally inspired this quilt. It is an interesting place as it is so remote and yet so interfered with in the past that it has altered the whole contours and look of the landscape.
