My First Visit

It was a warm bright sunny day in May when my husband and I came to look at a house in Thorngrafton. What a lovely quiet atmosphere it had, apart from the mooing of the cows on the farm and the sound of the house martins singing in the background there was silence and peace. We sat on the grass lawn at the front of the house and just looked at the view - in front of us the unspoilt Tyne Valley. We could see the River South Tyne meandering through the valley. Willmonswick Hall is in the panoramic view that is there when we wake in the morning. As you have probably guessed, we still live here 9 years on.  We plan to retire here. We feel like this is our and always has been our home.
