This looks like a Vermeer painting!
2 years agoLooks like the critter, alright. And they were both white and blue. White was the more unusual.

My thought was also "rubber" fence.
Gotta scratch that itch?
What great insider information! It’s a shame I didn’t know in advance or I well might have done some project work here.

2 years agoSo, if you tell anyone in the UK that you've been to Barnard Castle, there's a pretty good chance that they'll respond by asking you if you needed to test your eyesight (a reference to this incident during the first covid lockdown, involving our soon-to-be-ex-PM's then right-hand man): https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/dec/17/people-wont-forget-dominic-cummings-visit-barnard-castle-learns-to-live-with-notoriety (There's even a commemorative beer, for your Project!)
2 years agoI apologise, on behalf of my country (and County - the delay in fixing the bridge is Durham County Council's fault, I think!), for this. There were, once upon a time, some NCN diversion signs (which sent you east, and over the bridge at Winston, before heading west again; your solution is a better one, actually...), but I suspect they've all fallen over/been stolen/etc by now. The shortage of non-collapsing bridges over the Tees is a problem for cycle tourists in these parts (the next one downriver, at Gainford, has also been 'temporarily' closed for years and years...)
2 years agoIt looks like some sort of Pele Tower (or Bastle -- fortified farmhouse -- but it's a bit too far south for that), but I can't find it on any of the various Pele Tower Fansites, and the big archway thing is mysterious. A puzzle!
2 years agoThat was my first idea too but thought there might be some other explanation.
2 years agoI would think it' s just sheep rubbing against the wire fence.
2 years agoGlad you are ok. The roads are so very narrow.
