​Watched Epic, an Elvis film by my favourite director, Baz Luhrmann. It was incredible, and will be a DVD purchase when it’s released.

​Walking with a group from the moors down into Blanchland.

​The Groverake Mine, north of Stanhope, on the Pennines. The last mine headgear in County Durham.

​St Peter’s Church in Byers Green.

​A lovely walk at Croxdale today, led by Andy. The snowdrops were in full bloom.

​A fabulous walk with Andy and his two friends, called Dave, across the moors above Blanchland.

​An alleyway in Peterlee with the scoria bricks that I love.
