​Had a lovely day in Morpeth, Northumberland, with a couple of friends, and had a stroll round this antique emporium. This is the first place that has resembled the antique stores I lived in VA.

​This herring gull was hit by a car, and left injured by the curb. Cars rushed past without stopping. I took the poor little chap to Wilson’s vets but his legs were too damaged, and they had to put him to sleep. RIP and fly again in a better world, little one.

​It’s a pretty few steps from my gate to my back door.

​Ravensworth Castle, built in the 14th century, and mostly demolished in the 1930’s and 1950’s, due to ground subsidence caused by underground coal mines.

​We had a good drenching at work today, but most of our customers stayed on. It just meant more mud to splash through!

​Very chuffed to see that I got a fab review at work, likely on the Safari Ride.

​Driving the 3CX JCB to the car park at the end of our day at Diggerland.
