My last few contracts have been in Leeds, South Shields, Newburn, Benton, Stockton on Tees and Houghton le Spring. Apart from Leeds, they are candidates for where God will stick the tube when he decides to give the world an enema. So, I rarely walked anywhere and the best route was the quickest one out of there.
At least now I get to WFH a couple of days a week so the walk from the kitchen after breakfast to my office via the bog for a dump isn't too bad.I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.

Used to be quite a hairy ride at night and I met some rather unsavoury characters along my way - particularly at the Scotswood Road end.Comment

Loved this one for the last couple of years-Waterloo to Cheapside, along South Bank to Tate Modern, over the Millenium Bridge and up through St Pauls.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostAlong THE South Bank - Waterloo to the Strand
Before that I had a gig in Norfolk, stayed in the motorhome a couple of miles away, and loved walking past the fields in the spring watching the spuds sprouting, the Hares boxing, and the bunnies making more bunnies. Every morning was like being in the Darling Buds of May (if Bates had set it in Norfolk of course...)Comment

Blackfriars - what they doing? Cooking chips?
Across London Bridge heading north very early on a summer's morning with the sun rising between the towers of Tower Bridge.Comment

Greenwich to Canary Wharf via the foot tunnel.
I walk past the Cutty Sark, see the Parrots on the Isle of dogs and at the moment there are lots of duckings and young baby water birds around, which are lovely to watch.I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
