Travelling along the fishquay via DFDS...

...Elmer the Elephant...
50 of these make a trail in Newcastle and the North East in support of St Oswald's Hospice in Newcastle. This one stands near Ray Lonsdale's fisherman, and looks down the Tyne towards the two lighthouses on the piers.
We travelled oop north via the A19 - rain most of the way - for a Wallsend Gels get together this evening. Tomorrow to Stokesley to stay with my sister for a couple of nights - and to get back on track with Roy's birthday tour ;) 
Thanks for Widwed "travel" this week Bob!
And it made me smile for Happy Hump Day Laurie - happy to keep it going with the occasional blip ;) 

Oops - and an edit - almost forgot MonoMonday hearts ;) 
My final week hosting the MonoMonday challenge – and it was lovely sharing so many special moments with so many blippers!
Thanks for all your entries - so much variety again, from birds, cats, dogs and lambs to portraits & pianos, bikes, butterflies & bells!  And such inventiveness, from spanners & sparks to stars, and even Star Trek ;)
I’m awarding 10 hearts this week, just because I can – though obviously some people will have to wait for theirs to be delivered ;)  In no particular order, these are they:
ThingsBeautiful's yawning moment
steveng's moment of contemplation
LooseCanon's alternative moment
Skeena's momentary cat invasion
Lsquares bells
PL4yPhOto's momentary spark
pkln's special grandad moment
Trisharooni's misty moment
Dollykgray's damsel
Nanzy's roadside paino
 
And please do drop in to Youoregon's "What the Heck" moment ;)  if you want a good laugh!
