March 15, 2008 - Metro Sign

In the metro stations, there are signs telling you when the next train is to arrive. This particular one is in the Whitley Bay station.

FYI: I’m going back to the states in 4 days to stay for three weeks. I will set this up to post pictures in my absence (a couple reposts maybe, a few new) but that will make RSS feeds not work. Just so you know.

March 14, 2008 - Holy Jesus Hospital

The Holy Jesus Hospital survives amid 1960s city centre developments, displaying features from all periods of its 700-year existence. There are remains of the 14th-century Augustinian friary, 16th-century fortifications connected with the Council of the North, a 17th-century almshouse built for the Freemen of the City and a 19th-century soup kitchen. The National Trust’s Inner City Project is now based here, working to provide opportunities for modern inner-city dwellers to gain access to and enjoy the countryside on their doorstep. An exhibition room is open to visitors and guided tours of the whole site are offered once a month.

FYI: I’m going back to the states in 5 days to stay for three weeks. I will set this up to post pictures in my absence (a couple reposts maybe, a few new) but that will make RSS feeds not work. Just so you know.

I don’t know what kind of flower this is, but I saw it on my way home and had to photograph it. It sort of reminds me of a Tudor Rose in a way.

FYI: I’m going back to the states in 6 days to stay for three weeks. I will set this up to post pictures in my absence (a couple reposts maybe, a few new) but that will make RSS feeds not work. Just so you know.
