FILMED AT FOUR TOWNS PLUS A QUAIL IN THE GARDEN

A very busy day with a 5am start but all worked out very well until the trip home. I was at Stockton by 07.30 and the light was spot on a more buses than usual, so good that I was on my way to Darlington before 9am, again Darlo was quite busy for buses and once again a successful visit and then on my way to Middlesbrough. Some cloud which was useful as the sun is never quite in the best position for photography, then it became full sun and almost warm for a few minutes, it had sleeted on the M62 on my way over earlier in the day. Last it was a dash back up the A1 to Durham and mostly sunny there.

 Three films from one day is easy with trucks but hard going for busy but then I headed over the A66 and down the M6 but heard on the traffic news than further down two lanes were shut due to the appearance of a pothole which they were fixing. I ended up going down the M61 then M62 back to the M6 which was a bit of a roundabout way but avoided a two hour wait in traffic. Had dinner, watched soaps, got DVD orders ready and downloaded the material from today. We've had a Quail in the garden, a first on our extensive all time bird watch at No17. Tomorrow I'll be putting another coat of paint on the showroom, we are collecting at Heswall in the afternoon for the Polio Fellowship, I managed to get the poster ready yesterday which fits in the plastic stand I bought them, it worked well as it gave people some prompts on what polio is / was re UK survivors. Photos start at Stockton.
