Ove Arup's Kingsgate Bridge. Always interesting to customers despite the mix view about it's looks! Personally, I think it's a brilliant addition to the city. Award winning too!

Inside St. Mary-the-Less church on the South Bailey.
Next time you visit, take a look for the memorial to ‘The Little Count’ just inside the door on the back wall.

The incredible St. Aidan’s in Bamburgh. The last photo is of the staff that Aidan is supposed to have leant against while he took his last breath.
What an amazing place.

Our very first 'Dog of the Day' winner- what a beauty!

Sophie was spotted walking Durham's Riverbanks with her dad. She took a well deserved rest and loved meeting our group. She accepted her treat and won her dad a free coffee at Café at the Quarter in Durham.

No storm can stop these two from doing the Full City Tour on Saturday morning. Conditions were a lot different from their native California and Venezuela but they soldiered on. Good craic and a fab morning.
