  Thanks. I liked the soft light.
  Bywell is a curious place.
  It is a deserted medieval village.
  In 1400 it was thriving - but it died out for some reason.
  Now - it is left with two beautiful old churches, and a few grand houses, and the other houses have disappeared.
  One story that sticks in my memory about Bywell concerns the great Flood of 1771 - when the river tyne was struck by one of the greatest river floods in english history. The story is - that a little baby was washed away in her cradle from Bywell - but she was rescued , in her cradle, - at the mouth of the river at South Shields - 20 miles away.
  I think there is a painting of this event.
  I hope the story is not "apocryphal".
  Mark
