Approaching warm front Heralding the next lot of rain and probably unpleasantly mild weather, The Cheviot <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/279853">NT9020 : The Cheviot trig point</a> is streaming cloud.  An hour early the sky was almost cloudless and the earth frostbound. Now temperatures are rising, the sky going from milky to cloudy and cloud is condensing where air is forced to rise by the 800m high hill.

Gate latch This kind of latch has a cunningly curved hook which makes fastening the gate very easy. A clip prevents accidental opening.

Approach To A Beech-lined Avenue No doubt helpful in keeping snow off the road in winter to some extent, this Beech-lined approach to Halliburton Farm (off to the left of shot) is in full leaf.

Remains Of A Pumping Station As yet I have been unable to find any information on this building, other than it was present in mapping as far back as 1965.  My theory is that it was a pumping station for water abstracted from the upper reaches of the Blackadder Water, a few hundred metres to the west.  To the right of this building, in the middle of a field, are the remains of a small brick structure.  There are also other structures on the slope overlooking the floodplain of the Blackadder Water, to the west.

Structures Overlooking The Blackadder Water Two small structures adjacent to the presumed remains of a pumping station near Halliburton Farm.  The Blackadder Water floodplain can be noted to the right of the image.

Sandstone Bridge Over The Blackadder Water A twin-arched sandstone bridge carrying Halliburton Road over the upper reaches of the Blackadder Water.  An inscription between the two arches on this (upstream) side of the bridge notes that the bridge dates from 1869.
