  This is South Hetton in County Durham. It was the location of the One Armed Bandit Murder in 1967.

  This is a good idea in theory. Unfortunately I can't participate, because posting beautiful pictures of a city has been known to attract tourists. And as a real Berliner, I'm supposed to hate them. Around here, our self-styled cosmopolitanism and open-mindedness does not extend to people who spend money in "our" city. It sounds counter-intuitive, but a debt mountain of 62 billion was no mere accident. )

  This is my evening " Walking the Dog" route.
  the first picture shows the mighty beast himself
  " The Hound of the Thunderpussy's "
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Most of the walk is along the canal ( 1742, first in the uk, I think)

  the last photo is of "The Mall", yes we still have cobbled streets. Well this is the last one, and
  great for taking a car on a test drive, as you'll hear all the rattles and squeaks.

  Me and Mrs UB attended the Military tattoo on 15th August 2015, it was fantastic. Funny enough though it was the Chinese military band playing Abide with me that brought a tear to my glass eye.
  
  Edinburgh is a lovely City and we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay there, especially the drinking establishments on Rose Street.
