Well it's sort of about holidays. In a single afternoon I saw two crowded beaches, three lighthouses, two windmills, lots of cormorants and kittiwakes, a funfair and a zoo. It's probably the nearest I'll get to a holiday this year.
 
Summer came to England's north-east coast today. And I have it on good authority that it's going to last until Sunday.

So here's what I did. Since this is ten minutes walk from my front door I went there.

Another ten minutes and I was here.

It took me about an hour to get here.

And another fifteen minutes to find the pub.

Which is at the bottom of a lift shaft.

And by the time I got here I was as brown as a berry.

Tomorrow it's the annual Ashbrooke beer festival. If I comment on any stories tomorrow evening, expect the odd typo.
