The first few are from Alnwick Gardens...

Luckily, the entrance fee isn't just money for old rope - there is plenty to see and do

There are some excellent water features.

The Tree House is quite an attraction.

Craster - a good place for crab sandwiches.

Dunstanburgh Castle has an unfinished jigsaw look about it.

Alnwick Castle is extremely well maintained.

The new design for the X4 bus. It promises to be faster than the one currently
in use and is guaranteed to have fewer people standing throughout the journey.

Slaying a ferocious dragon. Or flossing its teeth.

Well...why wait until New Year?
