Door knocker at Durham cathedral
Operation Eagle enters final phase days 9-12 afyer crossing Hadrians wall which I show in two photos I took twenty years ago showing the remarkable topography of the chosen site and my mother 5'2" demonstrates the highest surviving section of wall we found at around six foot = for centuries locals took the stones to build or mend housing, only in recent times have we had the Ancient Monument mentality
After Durham where I met new friends I drove to Kirkstall abbey Leeds and met a Yorkshire lass who fabulously bought me supper and a pint of golden local brew 🍺💛
Hoping to return last week of October!
I slept in Norfolk and had a tremendous day with a friend and family at Bressingham Steam as you see including choc cake!! 😋
Then down to Ipswich where Army of Shadows (TheDrift) and I cleaned up the Fat Cat beer festival! The stouts and porters are always particularly notable here and Titanic Plum Porter proved a stalwart 🍺🍺 Deep plummy hops
🧀🧀 Next day after a hearty supper of cheeses, Suffolk ham and rabbit paté we explored the town to the docks
You see the Ogre of Eagle Street
Eagle see? 👀🦅
And the Spring Road viaduct
Next morning, Bank Holiday Monday, I travelled to Kent and practiced an hour at St Dunstans as I hadn't in two weeks, a brief flurry in Bressingham, nowt more, then performed 🎹 an hour at Appledore Flower Festival to great acclaim! More glissandi 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶 than any church has a right to, frankly
Kentish cider is pink! Back to school with fine sunsets and my mileage (includes two teaching days) was 2424
I brought wines from Wales for autumn and ✍🏽🖥 here you see me back to work writing reviews at my desk! I had a wonderful 12 days and altho no eagle was sighted I played sax on Mount Eagle in the Black Isle above Inverness 🎷🦅🏴
If you feel like doing something do it!
