Beamish

Day out at Beamish today.  We last visited in 2013, so it was interesting to see what was new, what had changed, and how our photography has changed over the years.  We had a great day.

It was especially nice to see the Hetton Band bandroom.  There was a photo on the wall of the band winning a national competition in 1912 - they were pictured with the shield they won.  This is a shield that's still awarded (for the Grand Shield Contest), and Tim has won this same trophy a couple of times over the years.

Given today's budget, it also seemed appropriate to add the interest rate reduction in the extra.
