A very long day, soundtracked by a track a year from my recently compiled list of "albums of the year 1967-2018"...

A quick breakfast at McDonalds before hitting the road...


Heading up the M1, we hit tailbacks and decided to take a detour along the coast route...


...which led us to Amble...




...and Warkworth...






...and our erstwhile cottage...



...and on to Alnwick...


 ...and Barter Books for lunch...


After which a straight drive to Loanhead for a pop in to my mum - where I showed her all the holiday snaps and, once again, sorted her TV...

All told five hours on the road...

To Jane and Bob's for family birthday (for me) tea...










A very tasty Indian, from the Guru, produced much debris...


A choice of cake ensued...



Home around 8:30 to sort stuff out...

Today's artwork, "Barter Books"...


Highlight of the Day : Home at last...
