shewhomust | At a loose end in Chester-le-Street

durham_rambler has a weekly exercise session in Chester-le-Street. I have gone along for the ride a couple of times, and this week I took my camera.

A man who came along while I lined up this detail of the old chapel paused, to avoid walking across my shot: which was unnecessary, given how high up I was aiming, but civil. And it gave hm time to wonder what I had found worth photographing, and to be very impressed by a building he had never noticed before, so we had a little conversation about what a nice old building it was, and how people ought to appreciate it more. I didn't say "Well, it's in Pevsner," but I did feel smug about having encouraged someone to look at his local townscape.

Next time, I want to visit the Ankers House.
