Lads' day out

It's been a glorious day for weather. This afternoon I was inside, watching photos taken by our friends, J and D, who walked over 200km to Santiago de Compostella last year. They were celebrating their golden wedding - well done on all counts.

When we came out of the darkened room, the sun was bright. I wandered into the Sele, the park in the centre of Hexham, planning to take photos of a white seat and the crocuses. Then I met 4 likely lads from Seaham who were having a day out in Hexham. They were happy to be photographed and I took a few shots. The one I have chosen includes only 2 of the lads. I know that reflections in sunglasses are probably passe, but I like this one with the other boy and the reflection of Beaumont Street showing up well.

It was good to meet them, and I agree with them that coming to Hexham was better than just knocking around the estate they live on. Good to meet them.
