The Great Elephant Hunt!

Today 05/10/2019...we went for a wander round Newcastle looking for Elmers, fibre glass elephants made in support of a local Hospice, St Oswald's.


Our first Elephant, on Grey Street... 

55 degrees North



 St Nicholas' church









The quayside, by the Law Courts. 







Aiden happily slept through the hunt! 


My favourite - near the Millennium Bridge.
  







HMS Caliope and the Millennium bridge. 
 Inside the Sage

 ...and a small herd of mini-elmers.

 Aiden, still in the land of nod.

 Inside the Hilton hotel



On the swing bridge, no Elmers here! 








  And finally...one in Northumberland st...

...and in Fenwick's.


11 Elmers in all, not a bad haul!

August 2019 by the river

Today, I went by the river Wansbeck. It was a very bright and hot day!


A view from the road bridge towards the rail bridge.
 Upstream view
 Along the bank, bright it was! 








'A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare. ' 



  
  








   

  
  

I hope you enjoyed the walk! It was so bright my camera had trouble coping!
