....the sun shines on the righteous!!

....who would have thought that you'd only need to cycle or drive less than 30 miles to feel as though you are completely away from it all! Yesterday we walked by cow green reservoir to cauldron snout - a six mile round trip - and today we parked up at eggleston abbey and walked into Barnard castle on the north side of the river tees before walking back on the south side - just 3 miles or so today!

It takes been away with just a limited range of options sometimes to make me relax and slow down - cycle, walk, play cards, chat with the boys, simply enjoy each others company
