17 January: Sunshine!

"Rain before 7, fine by 11" - held good today, so we decided to park in Hollingside Lane for our shopping trip into Durham.

The sun was shining as we walked through Great High Wood -


and there were signs of spring in the leaf litter -


Walking down from what used to be Mountjoy cottage gives a different view of the cathedral -


A different view across Kingsgate Bridge -


When we walked back along the river bank, there was much activity on the river - a game of kayak basketball under Baths Bridge, and lots of rowing all along the river (with the obligatory view of the cathedral in the background!).

Thank you for the pleasant walk -- and especially for the reminder that spring will emerge one of these days.
