Northumberland has some pretty fine castles, and this is one of them - Halton, just north of the village of Corbridge in the Tyne Valley. Someone's made a nice job of cutting the grass surrounding it too! Nice bike ride on a fine day, for sure.

They sure do! As a visitor from the UK where you might go for a walk with your mates, here in #Ottawa it's "Get your skates on!" it's great.

Well, Goodbye #2024, an #AnnusHorribilis, the worst year of my adult life. It saw the death of my soulmate and wife of 54 years.
The glimmer of light ahead is a probability of the birth of a grandchild, now that my youngest daughter is pregnant.
#HappyNewYear, hopefully.
