​Beautiful countryside just outside Northallerton. 

​Sandra and I went to the Dick Whittington pantomime at Beamish. It was pretty funny. Oh no, it wasn’t!

​Lovely late afternoon light just outside West Cornforth this afternoon.

​Post box toppers are a big thing in England, and this one featuring Vera has plenty of fans already after being installed yesterday.

​The heated throw arrived today, and Mr Blue Skye couldn’t work out where the warmth was coming from. We are both enjoying it immensely.

​Hanging out with Peter this afternoon, and also Neville, Adrian and George, who all worked on my house, came for a visit too. It was a fun few hours.

​This area of grass in Seaham is now a famous Mole Sanctuary. It was originally a joke with a home made sign, which then began garnering reviews on TripAdvisor, which in turn led to the council putting up official signs, and the sanctuary remains. A broken sign has disappeared, I’m hoping the council is replacing it.
