Durham, August 2018

Today, we went to Durham, visited the Cathedral and shopped, as well as eating very well!

Here are some pictures featuring My sister Janet and her husband, Jonathan, while we were looking after my great neice, Megan.

In the Cathedral square.

 Off to the river Wear.

 Some council displays on the main bridge in Durham.

I hope you enjoyed looking at these pictures!

Our Christmas trip to Durham...and a rusty wing nut!

Today, Janet, Jonathan, Mark, Rachel, Taka and Jenny, all went to see the 'Angel of the North' and Durham.

Fortunately, although rather chilly, it stayed dry. We did good shopping and dining, and had a great time out together.

It was especially nice to properly meet Jen's husband Taka!

On with the pictures....

J and J feeling the chill!

Ah, a BIG Rusty wing nut! 

 3, rather dwarfed, bollards?

 A rather good description of the statue.
