I’m just hoping that “library” doesn’t just mean a room with a few tatty books in it. But actually a fully funded AND continually funded library. WITH BOOKS. The funding should be ring fenced as well or it will just disappear.

A good wander around Howick Hall gardens and a path leads to a decorative bridge ideal for #FootpathFriday incorporating #FootbridgeFriday

Wooden footbridge with metal railings spanning a small stream in a woodland setting. A path covered with fallen leaves continues into dense greenery. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. There is a tall tree with textured bark on the right.

Lots of helicopter action around us today as there's a major training exercise taking place across Northumberland over several days. So today we've been criss crossed by Chinooks (in photo) and Apache helicopters.
#BlackAndWhitePhotography #FujifilmX #Photography #Northumberland

A helicopter flies through a cloudy sky over a landscape with rolling hills in the background. In the foreground there are tall stems of hemlock and a stone wall. The image is in black and white, creating a contrast between the dark silhouette of the helicopter and the lighter sky.

Crackle And Pop
The Pentangle - Pentangling
A cheapo Pickwick compilation.
Sad to hear of the death of Danny Thompson. I saw him in a very "refreshed" performance with John Martyn in 1975 and with EBTG in Leeds banging out bass lines to dance rhythms.
