Old Sturbridge Village: Autumn in New England
A remarkable and inspiring view of the Village from the air during the fall.
Fall was a busy time for early 19th-century New Englanders. Farmers harvested corn, potatoes, and vegetables. Families worked to preserve the harvest by drying, pickling, sugaring, and other preservation techniques. Despite the lack of modern refrigeration, families had no problem keeping food refrigerated from late November to early April. If anything, the concern was keeping food warm enough so that it would not be ruined by freezing or freeze-thaw cycles in the root cellar. Fall is a busy time at Old Sturbridge Village too! Make the Village a daytrip destination this season. Come for a special event, such as Apple Days or Dig-In: Field to Table, or come any day to enjoy the fall weather and leaves while learning about how early New Englanders spent their autumns.

Miller Homes - Westburn Village, Hebburn, Tyne & Wear, CGI Development Tour
Beautifully situated alongside Hebburn's Riverside Park and the River Tyne, this attractive selection of energy efficient two, three, four and five bedroom homes, fringed by mature trees and green spaces, is set to become one of the town's most attractive neighbourhoods. It combines a strong sense of local pride, and good shops and services, with excellent transport links that provide fast, easy access to Newcastle and the whole of Tyneside.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nestled on the banks of the River Tyne, and just a short distance from the nearby city of Newcastle, the town of Hebburn has much to offer for young families, couples seeking the perfect mix of green space and access to city life, or those looking for a quiet place to retire.
In this post, sales advisor Nicola at our recently opened development Westburn Village, gives her recommendations of the top 5 ways to spend a day in Hebburn.
Visit Jarrow Hall Anglo Saxon Farm, Village and Bede Museum
For visitors interested in history, or families with young children, taking a trip to Jarrow Hall Anglo Saxon Farm and Village is an excellent way to spend a day in Hebburn. Children will be able to delve into the past and explore why farming was so important to our ancestors, with the chance to meet animals from pigs to ducks and goats.
Why not visit Bede Museum, also on site, to make a day of it? This museum tells the story of Bede and his time, from the beginning of the Anglo-Saxon period through to his lasting legacy. This spot is a must-visit for those looking to explore the heritage of the area and puts an educational spin on a day out in Hebburn.
Explore Hebburn Riverside Park
One of the best things about Hebburn is that it has the perfect balance of green spaces and city life. Whilst it is just a short commute from Newcastle city centre, it also boasts the luscious space of Hebburn Riverside Park. Take the opportunity to stroll along the River Tyne and Marina, taking in the picturesque views and appreciating the fresh air.
Not only is there space to walk and be at one with nature, the park has a modern edge with artwork designed by Charles Quick installed along the river banks, making it an interesting and artistically inspiring place to spend an afternoon.
Take a trip to the beach
Hebburn is just a short journey from South Shields beach, which offers stunning walks, quaint shops, and of course, the all-important fish and chips treat. It truly epitomises the Great British Seaside.
On a hot summer’s day, the beach is the perfect place to entertain children, with plenty of spots to stop for refreshments or ice cream to cool off. In the colder months, why not wrap up warm and enjoy a brisk stroll along the seafront, warming up with a hot chocolate at Minchella & Co?
Go shopping in Newcastle City Centre
For those who love to shop, Newcastle City Centre is just a short drive or metro ride away, and has everything needed for the ultimate shopping experience, from independent boutiques to high street and designer collections.
With hundreds of cafes, restaurants and bars to choose from, there are plenty of choices for a pit stop in between popping into the city’s shopping hotspots.
When you’ve exhausted the shops, explore the alternative side of the city by taking a trip to the eclectic Grainger Market, sampling the art at Side Photographic Gallery or seeing a show at the Theatre Royal.
Take a stroll along the Quayside
Hebburn is a stone’s throw from the iconic bridges of Newcastle-Gateshead quayside, where you can spend a relaxing afternoon walking along the riverside taking in the views, or stop for a drink or bite to eat at one of the many restaurants on offer.
For an artistic experience, why not check out the acclaimed BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art on the south bank of the River Tyne? With inspiring exhibits and an exquisite dining experience available, it’s a must-visit spot. Further along the river, Sage Gateshead showcases the region’s musical talent, from smaller artists to big names in the industry.

Royalist Crier welcomes Gino D'Acampo to Hoddesdon Christmas 2017
Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo unveiled an Arriva double-decker bus named after himself when he switched on the Christmas lights at a Hertfordshire town on Saturday, November 25, 2015.
Gino first warmed himself up at top flight Cannon Travel
Agency in the High Street and happily posed for selfies, chatting to local traders and townspeople, before venturing out to the festivities.
He told thousands of adoring fans at Hoddesdon that although he had lived in England for the past 21 years he had never been aboard a bus before.
The biggest Italian community in the UK live in and around Hoddesdon - descendents of the Prisoners of War who had been held in a nearby POW camp, but decided to settle here when peace returned.
Guest honour Gino had been invited to switch on the Christmas lights and was surprised to be asked to unveil a name given to an Arriva double-decker bus.
He told his adoring fans that it never entered his head that he would unveil his own name painted on the the side of the bus.
Celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo will be switching on the Christmas tree lights in Hoddesdon next week, wrote Matthew Mohan-Hickson of the Herts Mercury.
The TV personality, who won I’m a Celebrity in 2009, is taking part in the Hoddesdon Loves Christmas event in the town centre on Saturday, November 25.
The star, who was once rumoured to be opening a restaurant in the town, will be taking to the stage after a day-long programme of entertainment.
Choirs, a brass band, vocalists, the Ware ukulele group, fire dancers, local musical dance groups and much more set to wow shoppers on the High Street from 11.30am.
Gino will be on stage from around 5pm and once the Father Christmas parade has passed by he will be joined by the mayor Councillor Carol Crump for the countdown, which will take place at approximately 5.45pm.
Following the Christmas Tree lights switch on, a fantastic firework finale will light up the sky over the historic Clock Tower.
Event Co-ordinator for ‘Love Hoddesdon’ Stephen Harris said “This was a great all day event in 2016 with many families turning out to enjoy the entertainment.
“This year the parade is bigger, there are many more community and trade stalls, the Christmas Grotto is open longer, we have a packed arena programme, reindeer and other animals, plus more exhibits and things to do including a free photo booth in Fawkon Walk.
“If you love Christmas then you will love what we have in store for you.

[ LOFAC #17 TREEANON ] 트리아농
청담동 홍차카페, 애프터눈티 티살롱, 카페 트리아농
Cheongdam-dong blacktea Cafe, Afternoontea Tea Salon, Cafe TREEANON
The Afternoon Tea Set comes from a 19th century in England spending a relaxing afternoonhaving tea and refreshments.
애프터눈 티세트는 19세기 영국에서 오후에 차와 다과를 즐기며 여유로운 오후를 즐긴 것이 유래입니다.
There is a cafe in the quiet residential area of Cheongdam-dong where you can feel that relaxation.
청담동의 한적한 주택가에 그런 여유로움을 느끼기 좋은 카페가 있습니다.
It is TREEANON to introduce to you today.
바로 오늘 소개해드릴 ‘트리아농’입니다.
Once you enter TREEANON with its European-style small gardens, you can feel the exotic feeling of entering a small tea salon in the French countryside.
유럽풍의 작은 정원이 펼쳐져 있는 트리아농에 들어서면 프랑스 시골 마을 작은 티 살롱에 들어온 듯한 이국적인 감성을 느낄 수 있습니다.
Go through the small gardens to indoors and you can feel a luxurious atmosphere that combines antique style with modernity.
작은 정원을 지나 실내로 들어서면 앤티크한 스타일과 모던함이 조화를 이뤄 고급스러운 분위기를 연출합니다.
The sunny terrace seats are a boast of TREEANON.
햇살이 따사롭게 내리쬐는 테라스석은 트리아농의 자랑입니다.
Especially, the sky canopy of the terrace seat makes the space more pleasant.
특히 테라스석의 하늘거리는 캐노피는 공간을 더욱 여유롭게 만들어 줍니다.
The charming atmosphere of antique furnishings and European sensibility makes the afternoon tea set more enjoyable.
엔틱한 가구와 유러피언 감성 소품들로 꾸며진 아기자기한 분위기는 애프터눈 티세트를 더욱 즐겁게 만들어줍니다.
If you come here, you have to taste the 'Afternoon Tea Set', signature menu, which comes is threestage tray.
이곳에 오면 대표메뉴인 3단트레이에 나오는 애프터눈티 세트를 꼭 맛봐야 하는데요.
The pound cake with plenty of figs made by the dough with hand-brewed black tea base, is soft and the scent is subtle.
직접 우려낸 홍차를 베이스로 한 반죽에 무화과를 듬뿍 넣은 파운드 케이크는 부드러우면서도 홍차 향이 그윽하게 납니다.
Also, hand-brewed milk tea which is not tea bag but 100% tea leaf suits very well with 'Afternoon Tea Set' since it’s aromatic and not to sweet.
또, 티백이 아닌 100% 홍차 잎으로 우려낸 수제 밀크티는 고소하면서도 많이 달지 않아서 애프터눈티세트와 정말 잘 어울립니다.
How about enjoying a relaxing afternoon tea set at TREEANON where you can relax and enjoy the culture at the same time?
여유와 문화를 동시에 느낄 수 있는 ‘트리아농’에서 애프터눈티세트를 즐기며 지친 일상을 벗어나 보는건 어떨까요?

Creating treasured memories - Bettys Harlow Carr
The picturesque Bettys at RHS Gardens Harlow Carr has a touch of magic about it. Why? Because it changes with the seasons. Take a chair in the Café Tea Rooms or on the terrace, and look out over the majestic gardens - lovingly maintained by the RHS - where the rich, abundant flora celebrates the four seasons with stunning displays of colour. It's never more spectacular than during autumn, when a visit to Bettys with a friend is best followed by a stroll amongst the bright, uplifting fall trees.
The day Nancy came to Bettys
12 years ago Great British Bake Off winner Nancy Birtwhistle attended Bettys Cookery School as a student. in early December she returned - as a tutor. The occasion was a special one-off baking demonstration in front of an audience of regular Cookery School customers and some ‘next generation’ bakers who we’ve supported through our Cooking for Schools programme. Since it was early December, Nancy demo-ed two festive dishes - a leftovers quiche and a yule-themed swiss roll - and as she baked she told stories of her time on GBBO and her life since. It has been, as she put it, “AMAZING!” This is the story of the day.
A Bettys Christmas Tradition
Christmas is a time of traditions, treats and spending time with the people you love. It was Chloe's grandmother Betty who first introduced her family to our lovely range of festive cakes, puddings, pies and biscuits - and it's been a special tradition ever since.
