A superb evening spent with my brother at local pubs and finishing at The Ship Inn.

 I seem to be doing things right with this spider plant that I’ve had a few weeks. It still looks very happy! 

 A beautiful and huge oak tree, surrounded by Himalayan balsam flowers, on our walk today.

 This guy at The Heart Foundation had a great sense of humour. We loved his seagull with a stolen chip in its beak.

 While we were out walking the fields at Ushaw, we were waved at by this farmer as we stopped to munch on a large patch of blackberries.

 This huge coiled dragon statue was in a garden as we walked around Consett. We had no idea what the ‘ball’ represented, but the statue was quite formidable.
