I like the Metro. No not the one in Paris but the Geordie one that circles the coast through Whitley Bay before diving back under the city and the River Tyne before it heads out to Sunderland and beyond. Apart from the two tunnels under the city the rest of the route is made up of converted rail lines which had reached the end of their days and were threatened […]
It’s Monday, my grown up day where I try to get as many of the household jobs out of the way so I can spend the rest of the week doing the camera stuff I like. It doesn’t always go to plan obviously but you have to show willing. The sun was up and the birds were bouncing around the feeding table and perhaps it took me a bit longer […]
A favourite feature of Astley Hall and park is the walled garden to the rear of the hall. Once it would have been the provider of fresh produce through the year for the hall and it’s inhabitants.

I’ve a fair bit of photo editing to work through this week, a few things to note down before I forget. Found some new places to eat and […]
After my very pleasant lunch I took at walk away from the buzz of the city centre, and headed out to the nearby coast. The Menai Strait flows fast here, separating the mainland from the Isle of Angelsey. The salt laden breeze was sharp and fresh as I ambled along the coastal path. A delightful feature is the Pier at Garth. It’s not a gaudy, entertainment decked affair, just a […]
