Photo-a-day 35: Leaky roof

CZ20140204064435300The roof of Newcastle Station is a marvel of Victorian engineering… but I can’t help but think that it might seem still more marvellous if it didn’t leak quite so much…!

Photo-a-day 34: Lungo

image

This was a lovely lungo coffee in one of the stylish lungo glasses Nespresso treated me to recently. Wendy’s first reaction when I brewed one up was, “Will you look at the crema on that?!”

Photo-a-day 28: William Tyndale

This is a statue of William Tyndale, who translated the Bible into English half a millennium ago, causing (to put it mildly) a right old stir.

Photo-a-day 27: Flying Scotsman

image

This is the crest of the Flying Scotsman, the train service which sped me to London in about 160 minutes this morning – as it has on many Mondays in the past year!
