Video: Washington DC 3 - National Mall

This video contains some of the most famous icons Washington DC has to offer which we saw on our first full day in the US in August: Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Reflecting Pool, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and (from a distance) the White House.

Video: Washington DC 2 - National Air and Space Museum

This was one of my favourite places on the trip to the US in August. I could have spent half the holiday in the National Air and Space Museum.

Video: Washington DC 1: Lafayette Square

The videos from the trip to the USA in August are now starting to come off the assembly line. This is the first - Lafayette Square, next to the White House.

Tanfield Railway

This is the video I shot on my most recent visit to the Tanfield Railway, earlier this month.

Leonardo Hotel, near Heathrow

At last I am beginning to edit the video from the trip to the US in the summer. This is the first, though it was filmed in the UK - at the Leonardo, our hotel near Heathrow.

Glendale Show

At the end of August we went to the Glendale Agricultural Show in Northumberland. It was the first time we had been and it is larger than most of the shows we have visited. Despite the rather cool weather, it was a good day.

Back to the Tanfield Railway

We spent the day at the Tanfield Railway in Gateshead today. It's just a few minutes' drive from where we live. The visit was arranged through the Sunniside History Society of which I am deputy chairman.

It started in the morning at Sunniside Club where a classic London Routemaster bus picked up many of those attending. I went in my car to free up seats on the bus for others.

On the trip we were able to see inside the workshops and sheds as well as having a one hour ride on the train.





If you haven't been to the Tanfield Railway before, draw up plans to go asap.
