We have been out for our usual walk and saw hardly anyone, just another couple who live 2 houses away from us.  Where have they all gone ? Is Durham busy with tourists today ?  Are they all soaking up the sun on beaches ?

River Wear at Durham..

River Tees at Barnard Castle.

2 very nice places.

We are at Seaham Co Durham overlooking the beach.

There are lots doing it Sue, but I know the MD of these and they are a decent business doing things properly.

It’s all pretty quiet here

We’ve picked up, and enjoyed, our roast beef Sunday meal takeaway from a local cafe.  Very good.  Couldn’t face the sticky toffee pudding and custard just now - that’ll be our tea, I guess 

 

Just a heads up, though I’m sure you’re all on the ball - I had an email yesterday from TV Licensing telling me my monthly payment for the TV licence had been declined by my bank.  Good email, looked OK superficially.  Sadly, the licence is not paid from my account - and greater scrutiny showed a few odd spellings and syntax errors.

 

I don’t normally get this sort of rubbish - so a heads up to everyone to Stay Alert

I've had the same happen to me with my mobile bill. I always, always double check anything like that that comes via email or text by contacting the relevant  company personally to verify.

I envy you your part of the world, Graham!  Some of our very best family holidays ever were taken in the north-east - usually a bit further up in places like Craster and Beadnell.  Empty beaches and roads then, even in August - wonderful!

Seahouses and Bambrough Castle too.

The Northumberland coastline is lovely.

All the beaches from Scarborough in Yorkshire up to Seahouses Northumberland about 120 miles are lovely

That East Coast railway trip is beautiful; similarly the Scottish East Coast from Berwick to Edinburgh

Love Northumberland. Spent many holidays there.......  Alnmouth, Bamburgh, Farne Islands, Lindisfarne Castle.  Wonderful beaches so unspoilt.   The fish and chips at Seahouses and crab sandwiches at the nougat Craster always go down well too.  We miss visiting since we moved.  Might be back again soon given we're not cruising for some time!

Could settle for that! 😉

I have had those and similar from ( allegedly) DVLA. I would advise that you just delete them. There is very nice prince from Nigeria who is helping with my P&O refund. That should arrive soon now that I have given him my PIN.

Seriously watch out for the Amazon scam where they ask you to press option 1. That connects to a super premium rate call.

[kruzseeka]

Help......how do I get rid of that uploaded image in my previous post?  I'm not very good at this! 😏

Image seems to have gone now but can I get rid of that 'click to choose files' prompt?

 

P.s previous post should read 'pub at Craster'  .... where did nougat come from?. 😆

Just a bit too far for us as a comfortable day trip. We have done it by train when the £10 special is on. Might give it a go though if the weather is good.

Well better than my ironing board cover which was substituted with 3 x Schwartz Hollandaise sauce mix!  To add insult to jury they didn't even send them but charged me!  🤔

 

Sorry folks - Durdle Door image shouldn't be there.  Can't seem to delete it.

I'll have to watch out for that. I have ordered my wife a new ironing board cover for her birthday. She hates Hollandaise.

Know them both well (and the excellent fish and chips, eaten by the sea of course) at Seahouses.  We spent a lot of time on the coastline and the kids absolutely loved it too.  Shame it all goes wrong once you come south of the Humber (until you get to Norfolk).

The Lincolnshire coastline is very different from the beautiful coastline from Yorkshire northwards.  It has its attractions, including Skegness, Cleethorpes, and similar resorts, but it’s hardly scenic.

Coastline down here in South Devon is stunning.  Also, apart from the floor markings in the local Co-op, have hardly noticed covid-19.   We have hardly been hit down here.
