The Colpitts Hotel, a rather excellent Sam Smith’s pub in Durham.

As is often found in their pubs, a nice fire.

The Swan and Three Cygnets is also a good Sam Smith’s pub.

And then there’s the Tin of Sardines, which is allegedly the smallest bar in Durham. A gin bar.

We like gin. And the Head of Steam.

Wsitting for a train. In the Waiting Room.

Fortunately there is beer.
