Took a trip on the Northumberland Line yesterday. The return train from Newcastle to Ashington was quite full boding well for when all stations are open. It’s certainly good for getting shots of familiar landmarks from different angles.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

I was a regular visitor to Lymm, Cheshire, from 1959 to 2019. My uncle married a lady from Lymm. Loved the village, mainly for its choice of ales in the pubs but also for the Bridgwater canal.
