Well, it is only fair... :mrgreen:

Some nice photos there, ladies!

What I want to know is: who forgot to tell Looby that the team colour was blue? :lol:

Sitting at the Library in Newcastle and I've actually given myself time to look through the photos from the visit. This is the first chance I've had to do this. [Sorry :( ]

I can't comment on all of them, but....


NO - she doesn't look like an alien :lol: Rotten Mum.

That second photo is a perfect capture of the Sage just under the bridge with the new bridge in the background. Well done if you can't see the results when you shoot.

Hiding behind your hair (Looby) wouldn't help if I'd been able to bribe them to tilt the bridge :twisted: It's known as the "winking eye" for a reason.

That really is a very nice Mother/Daughter shot with the river as a backdrop. Well done :)

The cannons at Tynemouth were deactivated before a set of fiddling puzzlers got to them ;)

"Sister Sitting on Sphere" looks great :D I now get to picture her visiting every time I pass it walking Maisie. [The "Scotswood and Elswick" board gives the same effect]

The sand advertising was a great idea, and it looks like you had a decent day to visit the coast. It wasn't tipping it down anyway.

I'm not a great personal fan of the 'Angel', but those shots are good.

More good bridge photography from LAT, and the one from the South side of the river showing the Swing Bridge, Newcastle Keep, and the spire of St Nicholas Cathedral does have a bit of everything in it. I couldn't arrange your timing so I'm glad you got a visual identifier for the "possible flight path for another Rocket" ;)

Finally - I think that the "Tin Dog and Elephant" is a great name for a pub :D Someone win the lottery and we can do it as a group project catering for puzzlers from around the world.

Aw...big virtual bunny hug winging its way to you... ;)

Do you know what? We SHOULD do this. I've often thought that puzzly people aren't particularly catered for with team events / fun activities. I would LOVE to do this as a job, seriously, if I thought it was a goer I would give up my job tomorrow and get organising with you!!! :lol:
