Well co-ordinated washing

Almost missed the bus stopping to blip this pretty washing line at Addycombe Cottages, built by Lord Armstrong to house some of the Cragside estate workers. (They look pretty but are very dark and poky inside.)

The tedious bus journey was worth it to see Ella and Nathaniel both on great form. He is pulling himself up to stand now, and also tackling the stairs. She is chatting away. We had to play in her den, a cover draped over 2 chairs.

I felt like a bit of a change at the hairdresser so I doubt Mr C will recognise me when he finally gets home from the trek.
