​The cherries in the park next door are ripening wonderfully. I grabbed a handful, and threw a few on the ground for the birds. I’ll get more in the next few days.

​It’s incredibly dusty at Diggerland. I don’t think my boots and jeans have ever been this grubby!

​My ride today, the Joyrider. Teaching kids under 17 how to drive. A little harrowing at times, but rewarding.

​A short stroll along Easington beach this afternoon.

​Red Lake on Blast Beach.

​An action packed birthday finishing with a sheep shear tournament. 

​This cherry tree is a few feet from my back door. Last year, I missed the cherries, they were gobbled up fast. Today, I managed to scoff a good handful, and will visit daily until they’re all gone.
