We have a visitor: D. is staying with us for a few days. Which is fun, but distracts me from posting here. And before he arrived we were dashing around trying to get ready to be visited, so that, too.

durham_rambler to his meetings, and went to the seaside. On our way to our favourite fish and chip shop at Seaton Sluice, we called in at Seaton Delaval Hall, a massive Vanbrugh mansion in the care of the National Trust. Renovation is a work in progress, and I don't know how far it will, in fact, progress, but I like the present status, in which bare walls are a magnificent canvas on which to have fun. The current theme is 'eighteenth century theatrical', but there's something seasonal about the giant bauble:
There was a queue at the Harbour View so, not for the first time, we went to the pub instead. Afterwards we went to the Tower Gallery, and I bought cards and D. bought a print - by the person in charge of the gallery, so he was able to tell her how much he liked her work, which is always gratifying.
