Huge congrats to @HummersknottAcd young reporter Olivia Smith on her brilliant @TheNorthernEcho feature about @StTeresas. I’m doubly proud - both as a trustee of the hospice, and having worked with her and the school newspaper team for the last few years. thenorthernecho.co.uk/young-reporter…
Great, but I love that the French president said "To be Frank" 😂

Good. There's no place in our politics for this kind of thuggery, regardless of party. news.sky.com/story/suspende…
Great to catch up with the guys from The Viking Boat Co. at #jorvikvikingfestival on Saturday. Stormbird, the Darlington Viking longship, which they've built together with #armedforces veterans, was displayed all week on Parliament Street. Read more here: thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/todayupno…
Animation is such a unique medium for conveying both information and satire, this is brilliant.

"In this new world where the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man..." Cracking takedown by @julianborger and @guardian theguardian.com/world/2025/feb…
Great to see our aerial drone footage of Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve appear on BBC News yesterday. Fantastic effort by @durhamwildlife to protect and grow this beautiful North East habitat.
Nice evening sat in the pub with the new edition of the award-winning @HummersknottAcd school newspaper 😉
Driving through #Weardale this morning and I just had to pull over and try to snap this sunburst before it vanished! I think I just about caught it.
Very excited to review Sleeping Beauty at @DarlingtonHipp together with my daughter. Like most of the world, she's currently obsessed with Wicked and saw the show earlier this year, so I knew the panto cast had a high bar to clear to impress her. Did they manage it? Well, mostly.

Really pleased to have the chance to find out about two groundbreaking County Durham businesses for the new @BUSINESSiQNE magazine. Read about them and lots more in the new digital edition: edition.pagesuite.com/html5/reader/p…
Always delighted to see these at Croft Christmas Trees! Good job @DarlRotary and @StTeresas!
Someone had a lot of fun with that headline... upi.com/Odd_News/2024/…
Snapped this walking back after dropping the kid to school. First time trying to shoot sun stars. Beauty is everywhere.
