Hector

My second in command wants a dog. We’ve decided to introduce one to our home on retirement. Well, it wouldn’t be fair on any creature to have to fit around our lifestyle. While the arrival of such a creature may be several years away, my second in command has already decided on a name. Hector. Apparently, she has fond memories of watching the children’s TV series, Hector’s House.

Durham

A very pleasant afternoon was spent in Durham yesterday. A visit to the Swan and Three Cygnets was compulsory, of course.

On leaving, there was something of a downpour, so it was necessary to take refuge in the Market Tavern. And the Head of Steam. And the Bridge Hotel.

And, since the rain hadn’t eased, there was a rather nice curry before the train.
