A rainy and windy day, yet on a patch of wasteland along the High St, a single rose bloomed.

 Fog blanketing the valley just outside of Hamsterley this morning.

 High tide at Seaham Hall. It was really windy, yet I couldn’t resist a walk along the beach and then running up the steps to get a little cardio workout in.

 After a lovely walk with a group around Causey Arch it was time for tea, with a cherry scone and jam.

 Tricksie Treat Grumbaleena, finally content with a full belly, after yowling for 10 minutes straight, because tea wasn’t on time.

 Looking into The Ship Inn at Middlestone, with Joanna at the bar, about to kick off quiz night. A fun evening with plenty of laughs, and the full range of Hawkstone beers.

 

 A other fab find on Facebook Marketplace. This is really heavy handmade wooden cabinet. Perfect for holding my touristy brochures for when friends come to stay.
