Amazing Fact
/Did you know that every year at least two thousand roadsweepers drown in Venice?
Note - this is one of my favourite jokes. Perhaps say number three or so. Now you can all live in fear of numbers one and two....
Puffin Spotting

Note to self. Get longer lens for camera..
This morning we went up to Bempton Cliffs to see if we we could see any puffins. We could.
Whitby and Robin Hood
/
A good place to eat a "Whitby Kipper". And a nice fish mobile too. But I think they would taste a bit woody.
Last time we went to Whitby it rained. All the time. But we still enjoyed it. So this time we went in the dry. Even better.
Whitby Bay looking good.
I think the captain was just showing off for us.
After we went to Whitby we stopped off at Robin Hoods Bay. No idea why it is called that, but it is a wonderful place.

This season blue is the new black for fishing nets
Weekend Away
/
So much for Bliss....
We are having a weekend away. This weekend. So the car has been loaded with essentials and some beer (or is beer an essential?) and we have scooted off to Flamborough, a village on the coast about an hour's drive from our house. Arrived just in time to wander down to North Landing and take some pictures. The evening was very kind to us. The sea was like a mill pond and I got some rather nice shots.
You can't beat a sunset by the sea...
Lilies

Taken fresh this morning.
Cool Photos
/You find some amazing things on the internet. How about pictures taken with a lens made of ice?
Durham Piccies
/Went up to Durham to fetch number one son today. I take my little camera everywhere, and so some pictures were kind of inevitable.
Some flowers near the station.
Sweeeties...
...and garlic. The new taste sensation.
Hull in Good Looking City Shock

Nice eh?
Went up town today. Must admit that the place was looking rather splendid. Took a bunch of pictures with the little camera. There are more on Flickr.
Flowers

There are some nice flowers in the garden. No idea what they are. Hope they aren't weeds.
