They have taken down the hoarding around the new train station in #sunderland. I noticed that inside it has the old British rail logo all over the place, as a general symbol of “railwayness”. I believe these days this symbol actually belongs to the secretary of state, as after rail privatisation, there was no one body who had exclusive rights to it. Train companies and network rail are allowed to license it from him on request.

So it is the first home game of the Championship season at Deepdale, against Sunderland.
A pretty good turnout of away fans, but Leeds United would've brought a lot more!

A couple of the #VeganBeers I purchased recently from Thirst Class Ales in #Reddish, #Stockport. The pale ale is Beer For Faye, by #Vaux Brewery, #Sunderland. The dark ale is HYG, a Peanut, Caramel & Marshmallow “Milk” Stout from #BrewYork in, er, #York! Both absolutely delicious, especially the #VeganMilk Stout.

Looking through some photograph files and picked out this as one of those moments when you're out and about and really pleased you had your camera to hand.
Walking along Hendon Beach in Sunderland and you come across a passing tall ship – not something that happens every day!

Another day, and it's blue skies again along Sunderland's stunning coast and how lucky are we that Seaburn and Roker have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag and Seaside Awards – again!
Our lovely beaches are two of 77 beaches to win the prestigious Blue Flag Award, and this is the twelfth consecutive year that the beaches have also won a coveted Seaside Award!

Pier Point dwellings overlooking Roker Pier and Lighthouse on Sunderland's seafront.
The curve of the North Pier at the mouth of the River Wear looks serene on a fine spring day like this, but imagine pulling up a chair and watching the same view when a storms delivers raging seas crashing over that same pier and lighthouse from the comfort of your living room!

Seems appropriate to post this photograph today.
The 'Ascension' as depicted is stained glass by William Wailes, a leading exponent of stained glass in the 19th century. The colours are amazing and can be viewed in the original historic parish church of Sunderland, Holy Trinity.
It was recently given a whole new lease of life as a cultural centre and performance venue, going by it's new name of 17Ninenteen (referencing its foundation).
