Went out to one of the rural tea rooms that we visit quite often for a late lunch - usual good fare ! we even bought a second round of cakes as a "takeaway treat" ...
Highly recommended [and dog-friendly, too] - White Monk Tearoom. Alternatively, The Lord Crewe Arms supply more alcoholic refreshments. Both are in Blanchland, Co.Durham.
Spotted this tree showing off autumn shades on the stroll back to the car park.
Construction of the right hand wall / gate post is a little different !
