​The dales above Stanhope just before sunset.

​Had a superb day with Sally, turkey and all the trimmings, but this was the photo of the day. Piggie Mr Blue Skye, caught mid mouthful, with food on his face. He’s been eating all day, turkey, sausage, cat food, custard and cheese. He’s loved every minute.

​Sally and I visited Cragside with their record breaking Christmas tree, and then popped over into Coldstream in Scotland for a pint.

​The famous aluminium sheeps in Sadberge, looking resplendent in their festive finery.

​wandering around the shops and Christmas lights at Dalton Park before Sally and I watched Avatar 3 at the pictures.
