October Thursday

Only now do I discover there was no WiFi on the train and this wasn't published this am.

Time for a quick walk before heading off to the station to get on the 9:28 LNER to London. The i-Phone camera catches not just the sunrise but some of the heavy rain drops that start to fall from an almost clear sky. We'll try to catch the Flying Scotsman north tomorrow morning so the blog may be late....or missing.

In the other direction the outline of a rainbow. The first of the archaeologists arrive for the days excavations.

Pumpkins £2 each in the supermarket.

Fun music. The musicians are enjoying themselves  :https://youtu.be/dMVI7z5GYRU?t=469
