ah, it’s so exciting getting to see oc and jungkook start new with their relationship and doing it properly this time as well 🥺

Hello 'island' anon!

Yessss it is exciting! Everything just went so quickly for them in the beginning. Now that they're out of this "wedding" bubble, it's good to go back to the basics of getting to know one another again--'properly,' as you said.

I'm already trying to draft bullet points for the finale... I can't believe we're close to the end 🥺

Northumberland Coast November Road Trip

England in November is a season of shorter days and falling temperatures. We expected the weather for our Northumberland coastal road trip to be mixed, and that’s exactly what we got. At times, the conditions were challenging due to considerable periods of drenching rain and temperatures that barely reached double figures.

A road trip along Northumberland's beautiful coast, at any time of year, from Amble in the south to Berwick-upon-Tweed on the northern borders of Scotland, displays some of Britain's finest beaches and spectacular views. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this stretch of England’s most northern county is home to expansive stretches of stunning shoreline, wind-swept sand dunes, historic ruins, and charming fishing communities.

The November sun rises just before 8 am and sets about 4 pm, so I didn't have to worry about setting my alarm too early. Since there are less visitors in the area at this time of year, the coastal scenery can be explored without the crowds, having miles of beautiful Northumberland beaches virtually all to ourselves. We found some businesses and attractions understandingly closed or operating less frequently for the winter season. Finding tables at restaurants was easy whereas in the summer months booking ahead would be a necessity.

Our journey spanned five days, which gave us plenty of opportunities to leisurely explore the different places we visited, sometimes even retuning the next day, and time to shelter from the harshest weather conditions. The trip could easily be completed in half the time, especially within the longer days of summer.

Northumberland map

Highlights of Our Northumberland Coast Road Trip

Amble

We begin our tour in Amble, known as "The Friendliest Port". A quaint harbour town at the mouth of the River Coquet that can be considered as the southern gateway to the Northumberland Coast. Harbourside seafood restaurants, brightly coloured beach huts, independent retail pods, and a sizable pier can be found in this increasingly popular town.

Amble still functions as a working port and has a small fishing fleet. A 250 berth Marina, situated on the banks of the River Coquet, offers a range of boat yard services. Boat trips operate in the spring-time to view wildlife, notably puffins and roseate terns, on Coquet Island. Sitting a mile off the coast and crammed with birdlife for half the year, the island is a Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) managed nature reserve. Boat landings are not permitted and only RSPB wardens are allowed onto the island. 

Amble gained the nickname 'the friendliest port' when on 3rd July 1935, the local Council sent the RMS Mauretania a telegram on it's last voyage to the the wreckers yard in Rosyth. 'Still the finest ship on the seas'. To which Mauretania replied with, "Thank you to the last and kindliest port."

Craster

Moving approximately 15 miles north, we reach Craster, a remote coastal haven set amongst rugged rocks, dramatic coastline and beautiful countryside.

Craster has a small harbour shielded from the wind-whipped North Sea by the guarding embrace of two solid piers. These concrete harbour walls were being put to the test as we arrived. As enormous wave swells pummelled the sea defences with amazing force, we were reminded that no matter how picturesque this coastline may be, the sea can nevertheless be brutal and unforgiving,

As soon as we stepped foot in the village, we were aware of the enticing smell from the L. Robson & Sons fish smokeries. Craster has a reputation for some of the most delicious oak-smoked kippers in the country. Fish is still being cured in the ancient smokehouses, which date back more than 130 years, by this fourth-generation family business.

Craster more than makes up for its lack of beaches with a breathtaking, volcanically formed, rocky shoreline. A relatively easy, one mile walk along the headland provides breathtaking sea views as you approach the imposing ruin of Dunstanburgh Castle. One of the most atmospheric and inspiring castles in England, Dunstanburgh Castle was built in the 14th century.

With over 700 sites—more than any other county in England, you will see plenty of castles on your journey up the Northumberland coastal route. This is due to the rather violent past with neighbouring Scotland to the north.

Seahouses

Further up the coast, the bustling market town of Seahouses offers everything you may want for a conventional coastal getaway. A variety of shops, restaurants, pubs, ice cream shops, and fish & chip eateries can be found in addition to fantastic sea views. 

I have a fondness for Seahouses that stretches back over a decade or more. Known to many as ‘The entryway to the Farne Islands’ which are located two to three miles offshore. I’ve made the crossing over to the islands many times to photograph nesting sea birds. As well as being the most famous Sea Bird Sanctuary in the British Isles, the islands are also home to a large colony of Grey Seals. Birds that frequent these islands for nesting include Puffins and several breeds of Terns. Boats depart daily from the busy, colourful harbour. 

There are beautiful beaches to the north and south of Seahouses, with the northernmost one being the most popular. Bamburgh Castle provides a magnificent backdrop to this expansive sandy beach which is bordered by grassy sand dunes.

Avian Flu

The worst bird flu outbreak to ever affect the UK has occurred during 2022, and experts have cautioned that the infection rate could increase even further throughout the winter of 2022-2023. The outbreak has had a huge negative impact on agriculture and the environment, killing 97 million birds worldwide (3.8 million in the UK). In response, the Farne Islands have been closed to visitors over the breeding season, as officials attempted to stem the spread of the infections. There is still a worrying battle ahead to rid our shores of this rampant killer disease.

Bamburgh

Bamburgh is the next-door neighbour to the community of Seahouses. A picture-postcard village, with English tea rooms, stone cottages, gift shops, eateries and B&Bs. The magnificent, 1,400-year-old Bamburgh Castle is seen before you even get to Bamburgh, majestically rising from the dunes system that fringes the beach, it literally is the stuff of legends.

The castle commands sweeping views of a 2.5-kilometer long, immaculate sandy beach with the Farne Islands, Holy Island, and Lindisfarne seen in the distance. Due to its lofty position, Bamburgh Castle is a beautiful subject for photos when shot from the beach.

Holy Island

Any visit to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne begins and ends with the vagaries of the tide. The island is cut off from the mainland twice a day during high tide when the causeway that connects the mainland to the island is submerged.

Crossing Holy Island’s causeway is a great experience, beautiful and sometimes eerie. The Road is approx 3 miles long and takes about 10 minutes to drive. Close to the start of the causeway is the famous refuge shelter for anyone unlucky enough that gets caught out by the tide. If you are unfamiliar with the causeway and the workings of the tides, it is best to educate yourself first, so long as you plan your visit for the right times, there is really nothing difficult to the crossing. I double-checked the crossing times before planning our trip.

Holy Island is steeped in history with spectacular coastal scenery. Whether you're interested in history, religion, walking, birdwatching, nature, or beaches, or like me in photography - Holy Island boasts a variety of attractions and activities. I think that it’s safe to say that most visitors are attracted by the extensive ruins of a 12th-century priory church and the associated monastic buildings. The equally famous Lindisfarne Castle is the other main visitor attraction.

Local boats moor iIn Holy Island Harbour, known as The Ouse. The legendary upside-down boats on a muddy area next to the beach are old herring boats that have been converted into fishermen's sheds.

Lindisfarne Castle dates back to the middle of the sixteenth century and was first used as a garrison. The castle, which is positioned atop the volcanic rock formation known as Beblowe Craig and is one of the Island's most recognisable and appealing sights, can be seen for miles in all directions. The castle we see today was constructed by renowned architect Edwin Lutyens beginning in 1903 and is an amazing blend of a Tudor artillery fort and an Edwardian country home.

Reconnecting with some of our favourite places along the Northumberland Coast has been a wonderful experience. Who wouldn't be captivated by this special place? It's every bit the wild coast you'd want for photography inspiration.

16/06/19-Afternoon: Amble, Coquet Island and Bamburgh 

This afternoon we headed first to Amble where we would board a boat trip around Coquet Island. First we looked around it looking down the beautiful River Coquet an area shown in the 7th picture in this photoset, taking in views of the really nice Warkworth Castle too. It was interesting there seeing so many more Eiders one shown in the 1st picture in this photoset they really do seem like Mallards up here a bird I usually see at a great distance out to sea at home. It was also nice seeing Shelducks, I don’t remember seeing this one of my favourite birds the same day as the cliff nesting seabird ones such as Kittiwake, Guillemot and something else that I saw later such is the mix of habitats here which I spoke about earlier in my last blog. 

Before and after the boat trip here we were delighted to spot several Painted Lady butterflies, one I captured in the 6th picture in this photoset. These were my first this year, my 30th butterfly species of my season I am in a really good place with this when I get home. They are striking butterflies to see as always. This once again emulated my Yorkshire holiday of June 2018 in that I saw my first of these last year at Bempton Cliffs. 

We then boarded the boat taking the 2nd picture in this photoset of a Sandwich Tern in the harbour and the 4th of the lighthouse on the island and had a really good trip with Puffin cruises despite a heavy shower catching us for the latter half. On the way I got my first view this year of one my headline birds this week, the Puffin of course. I photographed some later in the 5th picture in this photoset. We saw so many of these legendary birds throughout the trip, as it ensured this really precious bird for me appeared on my fourth year list running which means so much to me. 

Also on the way we caught sight of some seals which was brilliant and saw them closer to the island too. I know there are grey seals about there but of the ones I saw well enough to try to identify and one I photographed in the 3rd picture in this photoset I thought it’s a Common Seal, which if the case is only the second time I’ve seen them. 

On the way and closer to the island we saw many many terns and were told and could make out for ourselves with those much longer tails many were Arctic. This was another really big bird I wanted to see this holiday and they were actually my first ever. My 261st bird is one I’ve always dreamt of seeing it’s such an iconic species too and I was in aw of seeing them. It means for the first time since I created my life list spreadsheet Avocet is not the first bird that appears on it as its alphabetical. 

We also saw the main thing we had come to around this particular island for, some Roseate Terns. They are very smartly marked birds too. I was so happy to see these as well and it was bird 167 of my year making 2019 a highest a year list of mine has ever been on this date. What’s more it’s the eighth consecutive year tick for me that was either a new bird, one of my 27 favourites or a bird I had only seen for the second time ever. 

Overall I was very impressed with Coquet. I am blessed with Terns at home on a flat coast but I had never seen a massive nesting colony that included terns. Seeing four species of them together with Puffins and Kittiwakes mixed in was a wonderful new experience for me. 

We then headed to nearby Bamburgh getting great views of the impressive castle, the Farnes and down the beach and coast in now sunny conditions. I took the 8th, 9th and 10th pictures in this photoset here. It was also great to see more Painted Ladies and Sandwich Terns here as well as Sand and House Martin. 

Wildlife Sightings Summary: (Amble and Coquet Island) My first ever Arctic Tern, my first Puffin, Roseate Tern, Painted Lady and Common Seal of the year, four more of my favourite birds the Shelduck, Fulmar, Guillemot and Kittiwake, Common Tern, Sandwich Tern, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Shag, Oystercatcher, Eider Duck, Red-breasted Merganser, Sand Martin, Swallow, Swift, Pied Wagtail, Linnet, Goldfinch,  Woodpigeon, Green-veined White and Speckled Wood. (Bamburgh) One of my favourite birds the Guillemot out to sea, Sandwich Tern, Herring Gull, House Martin, Sand Martin, Linnet and Painted Lady.

Oooh for the asks 12, 14, 15 and 16 pls!! (Sorry they’re all too good I couldn’t choose)

Miks! Thank you for this ask, love 😘

12 - Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to?

I haven't done an exes-to-lovers trope yet. Although...I'm technically working on that RN 👀 I also would like to do an arranged-marriage scenario, or some fantasy trope as well. I do enjoy many sci-fi/fantasy stories but I'm still a bit apprehensive about actually writing it. Idk...we'll see if I can manage the world-building for that! 14 - If you were stuck on a desert island with only two characters, which would you pick?

Hah! I would love to be stuck on an island with Gradation!Hoseok for comfort and Coquet!Jimin for the fun aspect 🤣 Alternatively, they can be interchanged.

15 - A Hollywood producer tells you that they want to film just one of your fics. Which fic would you want it to be?

Ah--but of course, I would pick my crackiest (it's not a word, I know) fic to-date, and that's Scale! Also...Scale!NamJin scheming together is something I'd love to see played out onscreen...just for the thirst factor.

16 - What is your most underrated fic?

I'm biased, but I would say "Scions." It's one of my current series and it's my first attempt at an ensemble story. It's challenging to write not just logistically but emotionally as well. It's very, very dramatic but I love storytelling for the sake of storytelling. Of course, there's hints of thirst but, it's mostly very angsty. As I've told you before, I love my telenovelas and this is very on-brand for me, personally. I'd like to diversify my masterlist a bit and "stretch my legs" as a writer. This story is definitely pushing me in that direction!

How the Dutch helped CBS cheat on its taxes

When you think about tax-havens, you probably think about Caribbean "treasure islands," the ex-colonies whose erstwhile conquerors set them up as dependent financial secrecy jurisdictions whose economies were doomed to be stunted forever.

But in truth, the most harmful tax-havens are "onshore-offshore," notorious jurisdictions like Delaware, Nevada and Wyoming, or, in the EU, Malta, Luxembourg, Cyprus and the Netherlands.

The Dutch are among the most enthusiastic hosts to financial crimes. That's how Uber cheats on its taxes: it has 50 Dutch shell companies that it launders its money through.  

https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/13/uber-cheats/#50-companies

They document the tissue-thin pretenses that Dutch regulators tolerate, like "selling" its IP to a Dutch subsidiary financed with a $16b "loan" from a Singaporean subsidiary, garnering 20 years' worth of $1b annual tax credits.

Uber may be an aggressive user of the Dutch system, but they're not the only one. Viacom-CBS evaded a $4b US tax-liability by pretending to license its IP to shell companies in "Barbados, the Bahamas, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Britain."

https://gizmodo.com/viacomcbs-avoided-nearly-4-billion-in-tax-on-franchise-1847011793

While this was a global affair, the Netherlands were central to the con, because of its 0.8% tax rate on foreign distribution revenues.

https://www.somo.nl/keep-watching/

CBS jealously defended the pretense that a series of numbered companies with few (or zero!) employees were actually conducting its licensing and distribution business, firing at least one exec who tried to blow the whistle on the scheme.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/01/business/media/viacom-cbs-tax-scheme.html

The billionaire Redstone family - who controlled the company through most of this activity and whose scion, Shari Redstone, is its current CEO - dispute the careful, well-documented claims in the report, though they offer no evidence to contradict them.
