​I left the Christmas branches up, swapped out the lights and decorated for Easter. 

​The descent to Sycamore Gap. The newly sprouting trunk is within the fenced area, left of photo, next to Hadrian’s Wall.

​The pond at Egglestone Hall Gardens. 

​The Miner’s Lamp memorial at Bowburn, to commemorate the miners there and all County Durham.

​Crumpets for tea! Boursin cheese on one, butter and Marmite on another, and just butter on the third. I’d scoffed half of the Boursin beauty before I took this photo.

​This is at the bottom of my road, the old railway line which once served the coal mine and iron works. 

​Robin Hood’s Bay. Lovely to visit out of the tourist season, when only locals walked the streets.
