Seaham

We’ve come up to the North East for the weekend to spend time with some friends, Val and Julian, who live in Darlington. Jim and Sarah are here too.

Last night we had a barbecue (and ate far too much lovely food). Today we have spent the day at Seaham. It’s an interesting town with a history of coal mining and also seafaring. We had a Treasure Trail to follow which structured our walk and gave us some general information.

There is some interesting public artwork. This is’Tommy’ by Ray Lonsdale

This was also by him

The weather was overcast but dry and we had fresh air and exercise……

……. and a lovely lunch.

After that we returned to Darlington, having had a lovely day but properly tired out. We are now relaxing, having a drink and looking forward to take away pizza later.

Tomorrow we are visiting Hopetown and ending the day with some Northern Soul music and curry. What’s not to like? Expect an update!
