Great video Simon of my home village - it is a nice place, very quiet and lovely people; not too far from Durham and Newcastle, good public transport links. In general a friendly place.

My home area. You walked past my old house in The Avenue (moved in 2018) and past where I work. It's an ok area, over all, but those cycle lane "wands" are an eye sore. 😂

Pity Me is a corruption of the old Norman French 'Petit Mere' that is little lake. It's like Bear Park, from Beau Repare, that is beautiful retreat. You must recall that most of the early monks came from France with, or following, the Normans.

I used to drive past a place called No Place in County Durham.

I can recommend La Spada, it is a very nice Italian restaurant.

The X21 is west auckland to newcastle direct. The 21 which is what you aeen goes from brandon to durham, then to newcastle via the arnison centre on Mon-Sat. On a weekend the route starts in Durham
