​I drove to Yarm today to look around charity shops, and was delighted to find a wonderful gift shop, that I’d been to about 15 months ago, and hadn’t remembered where it was. For over a year, I’ve been searching on Google, and had been to Ripon, Thirsk and Northallerton, trying to find it. Due to the heavy rain, wandering around the town wasn’t an option, so I had a fabulous lunch here too.

​Tricksie Treat runs towards me to start her begging an hour before Treat Time. I have to deal with this every day.

​I inadvertently took this photo while messaging an invigilation colleague. I’ve made it completely anonymous, but this was during an exam today.

​We all took turns, on today’s walk from North Shields, to pose by this railing, because Margaret said it looked like we were on a cruise ship!

​Mr Blue Skye always likes to sleep on my lap with his head tucked into my hand. Dear little chap.
