GRIM UP NORTH?

We went for a long drive in the Durham Dales (extra photo is the view of Upper Teesdale we had from where we had our picnic) stopping and exploring Stanhope and Alston. Then when we got back I still needed a bit of leg-stretching so I went for a walk on the beach, where it was lovely, sunny and warm… and empty. Not at all like Jeanettie6's blip from Brighton yesterday.

The other extra photo is a Bar-tailed Godwit on the beach, bird fans.
