​One of the two wooden owl statues guarding Esh village on our walk this morning. Looking down on Langley Park.

​I found a chunk of specular hematite, incredibly sparkly and heavy. Usually, it would be flaky, but mine has been tumbled smooth by the sea. A nice find!

​When meeting the walking group at Seaham this evening, we spotted these two plebeian non-entities enjoying their meal, from a disposable BBQ placed on a wooden table, with tinder dry grass all around, on a windy evening. Absolutely brain dead…

​Mannequins at Chillingham Castle looking a little sinister…

​Mr Blue Skye enjoying some of my banana lolly.

​The hardest walk for a lot of us in the group today, climbing 4 miles up for this view of High Cup Nick in The Pennines.

​Got these two 80 year old salt glazed chimney pots today for a song. They will be planted up in the spring.
