Summer at Beamish Open Air Museum

 

We're on the 3rd of my seasonal posts from Beamish which means that the year is coming toward its end already! Upon our renewing our Friends of Beamish passes in January, I thought it would be cool to compile all the photos from our visits this year into 4 seasonal posts showing the difference in the landscape over the months. I've linked Winter and Spring below. 
This post is of course Summer. Where we had been trying to visit Beamish at least once per month, it isn't possible for us in summer meaning this will be our smallest of all the posts... because obviously, the schools are on holiday for 6 weeks at this time of year. School holidays equals more people and we prefer to stay away from people as much as possible haha, therefore limited outings for us. 

The good thing about visiting in summer is that it's usually less likely to rain and we've had quite a few soggy Beamish days this year! Anyway, here are the photos.

Bright colours and full trees are a wonderful sight. As are animals being out and about. It's always lovely to see them, but even more so when the weather is nice (but not too hot!) so that they can nap in the sun like the geese or munch the grass like the sheep. All the bugs are around and the birds are in the trees singing and providing the soundtrack for lovely walks with my two boyos.

Talking of Baker, just as I mentioned in the previous of these Beamish posts, it is getting a little more stressful to take Baker with us as it's becoming more and more common for people to have their dogs off leads despite it being against the rules. If you are someone who does this you need to understand why it is important. There are animals who live at the Museum and deserve to be safe without the risk of dogs approaching them. There are people who visit the museum who may be scared of dogs or not like them and should be free to enjoy their visit without dogs approaching them. There may also be dogs like Baker, who have been attacked and are now fearful. Owners should be able to have a stress-free walk with their dogs without constantly looking over their shoulders and taking turns to avoid other dogs. 
This point goes for any public place that allows dogs, not just Beamish of course. So if you have a dog, please have a little more respect for everyone around you when out and about.


Until next time!
