Left of centre. I’m a walker, knitter, gardener and reader. I’ve been retired for a few years now and love it. I’m worried about the environment, I’d like the UK to rejoin the EU.
Spending the afternoon at my mother’s, this is my my grandmother (in the middle) and great great grandparents.

Good morning Mushen. Very cold here, too. Luckily the weather didn’t prevent me from picking up the baby and taking him to his playgroup

Good afternoon. Even Puss has decided to be wise today and is staying in the house.

This picture does not capture the whole awfulness of the weather. It’s windy, and it’s sleeting hard. I’m not sure I will be going out today.

I think it’s too expensive to leave until Christmas. I’m in Durham this morning and it is already being taken down

The Lumière volunteers on the last night. Granddaughter and I are on the left, in the first row of people standing up.

Good morning Tom. The granddaughter and I were just giving information yesterday, so no new Lumiere installations to show. We were in the “drinking” area and it was a bit hair raising, tbh.

Good morning Mushen! All good here, thanks, the river was down last night, all the Lumiere installations were open. The granddaughter and I were both volunteering. Only tonight left.

Good morning Tom. A slightly later than normal waking. I must have been tired out after Lumiere last night. My granddaughter (the taller one) was volunteering with me.

A very successful Lumière tonight. I was joined on duty by my lovely granddaughter, who is taller than me.

Lumiere has started in Durham! We had a walk around last night and this is one of my favourite installations so far

The sky was beautiful but it was raining steadily by the time I got back from the early morning walk 🌧️

Good morning Mushen. I share your pain over sleepless nights, although I managed a lie-in until 5 this morning.
I have, however, spent the day with this lovely boy, so it’s not all bad news.

A nice walk and a nice view (with apologies to teachers of English) although it was blowing a gale and trying to rain.
