Happy to do my part for International Drink Wine Day.

I climbed up to the Penshaw Monument near Sunderland, but didn’t stay long as it was extremely cold and windy. There were plenty of hardy Brits up there enjoying the 360 degree views.

After a 3.5 mile walk through woodlands near Durham, I trekked through horrendous mud to see Wharnley Burn Waterfall in Allensford. It was beautiful here and I’ll be back when the leaves are on the trees.

A quiet night in, with a local pizza while watching Morecombe and Wise for me, and Tricksie Treat getting happily stoned on a big pile of catnip.

Looking across the alley from my kitchen window, I watched the funeral parlour load a coffin under the cover of darkness. They had no idea that I was watching.

A freezing cold few hours spent on Crimdon Dene beach, but I did find some sea glass.

Another dreary day bout the country lanes still look gorgeous. Farmers have been trimming the hedges recently so they’ll be ready to burst into leaf in the spring.
