Went for a walk in Museum Gardens post physio appointment (hope they’re proud of me) - it was looking good in lovely weather and with the ghost trail (also there but not pictured, approx 3 million tourists).

And I also love this finial carving, also in the Lindisfarne priory museum. I don’t know if it’s a pig or the first depiction of Greedo from the cantina in Star Wars, but it’s great
