2011 at Wallington, the year in 12 pictures - Part 14
The final part in this series of blogs will look at 2011 in pictures, one for every month of the year. My year at Wallington in the grounds and Walled Garden has been very enjoyable, sometimes it has been hard work. It has been a pleasure to work here and my year has been documented in pictures.
I shall continue to take photographs at Wallington on my weekly visits, but my next project of this type, is to document 2012 on my section of Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail. As well as volunteering at Wallington, I am a volunteer Ranger - looking after and monitoring a three mile section of this popular Trail.

In total, I have been to help here at Wallington on 47 days, during these visits I have managed to take approximately 1000 photographs. These images show the changes that take place. I will continue to bring my camera during my volunteering trips in 2012. This year has shown me that Wallington will provide a wealth of photographic opportunities, whatever the time of year you visit.
We'd like to hear from you. Send your stories, pics and videos to northumberland@ncjmedia.co.uk
