Night out in Durham with my self and Tudor BB gmt

After being at work all day I fancyed taking advantage of the lighter nights. I thought I would go out for dinner I knew where I wanted to go Durham.

Image

I parked my car in the Multistorey car park by the river.

Image
Image

Walking the old cobblestone streets to the pizzeria I when to before hopefully there’s a free table

Image

Lucky there is and it’s the same table I sat at before haha and wow that’s some pizza but I’ve worked hard today and I’m now very hungry

Image

A little walk around the old streets

Image

And over the bridge

Image

The river is very dirty and flooded from all the rain we have had lately

Image

I popped into a Italian bar and asked for a rum and he made me this cocktail it looked pretty but my god it was awful sometimes when you are being adventurous you win and sometimes you lose this was a big fail haha

Image

Back out walking around

Image

Going up to the big Cathedral

Image

Lucky not to many people about look at me funny take pictures of my watch like a weirdo haha

Image

I’ve got my arthritis photographer head on now so here’s some Random pictures of things I seen on my walk back to the car that I thought looked interesting haha

Image

A thing on a door

Image

A old fashioned light

Really enjoy your photo essays! You have a good eye for architectural details. I love a good pizza but my wife is not much of a fan. Best pizzas that we ever ate were in Napoli, Italy just a table outside of a modest cafe.

That’s funny ! Seeing this I was in Newcastle around lunch time just behind Summerhill grove there’s a good few motorbike shops and after that I went to the town (Durham) for remen 🍜

As a Durham, NC resident, my mind went the same place. We do have car parks and pizzerias. Not as many old stone cathedrals. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Durham is indeed lovely.

This man took his watch out on a date and I’m here for it haha. Rock on dude, the watch looks great and the views even better! That pizza though…but I’m a pizza snob so don’t mind me. Enjoy!

Looks like a great time. I never considered doing it by myself, but now......

Go for it I’ve spent most of my time alone pretty much aloner not by choice but circumstance but once you are comfortable being alone it’s very empowering! Not going to lie it would have been a lot better if I had a hot lass with me haha or even better my mate with me but sometimes you got do it alone

·

That white dial is the first thing I see when I look at the watch. Then I realize it's a GMT. Fantastic watch

·

I was at Durham last weekend. Didn’t take any photos of my watch though. Wore my Formex Essence to whole time.

Image

Did take some photos of Durham though of which this is one in the evening.

Custom lids is pretty good but they are in gateshead now been getting gear off them for years now but biking is dying i think not enough young people getting into it must the youngens you see on bike are the chav’s on stolen bikes

I used to ride for over 15yrs back in Hong Kong, since moving to UK bikes don’t seem very ideal 1) the cold weather . 2) as you mentioned the Chavys stealing them.

Cool yeah the cold and wet weather isn’t the best for riding and the chavs but on a sunny day out in the countryside there’s some amazing riding
