Memory jogged by a brief yet energising conversation with a young person wearing a (probably DiY) customised, Pink Floyd-themed denim jacket. I found myself talking up Live at Pompeii. If I recall correctly I bought this on VHS from Our Price in c. 1994 m.youtube.com/watch?v=NyaGKi…

An upping of the ante in the dramatic skies quotient this evening. Weardale. The water was warm. #swimming #CountyDurham

Back in my natural habitat, after a busy few weeks. Here we have an assembled mass of wild carrot, clouds scudding across a bright August sky, a particularly cheerful example of field scabious, followed by a general DH7 vista #lovewhereyoulive #DH7 #walking

So this arrived in the post today! I’m very much looking forward to judging the Pictorial Competition (thanks - @MD_Briggs !) & to experiencing the show itself, a rural tradition we do particularly well in the NE. Blanchland is also home to the magnificent @Lord_Crewe_Arms

First ever foray into en plein air landscape painting. Massive thanks to @Luke_McTaggart for making this happen and being so brilliantly supportive. I have a lot to learn but it was great to make a start. #lovewhereyoulive #Amble @TheMaltings

Sometimes it’s as fun and as fascinating to look down as it is to look up! Chester-le-Street has come up roses this evening with a little potted history of our region’s proud industrial heritage, in the format of drain/ infrastructure covers… #walking #lovewhereyoulive
