Touring Britain from your doorstep

I think Mel may have been a little bored waiting, after we'd exhausted the delights of Warkworth Castle, and a little underwhelmed by the all too brief appearance of the cyclists, but given we weren't in Edinburgh to see the Depart, I kind wanted to catch it en route south. Liked this old chap on his doorstep to watch it all go by (I actually watched the riders for the most part, rather than shooting, but like the Daniel Teklehaimanot picture in the extras).

Home now. I wish I could say I was refreshed from the couple of nights away, but I've found it hard to relax with thoughts of things to do for work, and despite having a couple of days' holiday left I'll be sorting out some documents tonight, as well as having to script something for another STV Edinburgh thing I'm filming tomorrow. I've not been good at switching off this last couple of weeks.
