BACK NORTH (04/11/11)

This morning, I left one old coalfield and headed north to County Durham, a much older coalfield. Not a pleasant run in heavy rain.

     Thanks to Keith at HOLDINGMOMENTS I now know this plant is Sea Buckthorn. Impressive stuff that this picture does not do justice to.

    A  nettle flowering after the rain. It really is very mild. I think some of the plants think winter has been and gone.

    The last tub of coal.

      Alf the miner…………………filthy wee devil.

I’m undecided where to go to next week……….the Lake District is calling but I will see.

Have a good weekend.
