The Sutton Arms - Stockton
I stopped off at the Sutton Arms today for Lunch. It's a pub in Elton (On a map it seems to be almost on the middle point between Middlesbrough and Darlington).
Even on a rainy day like this the place looks nice. The area quiet. I almost his a wide variety of birds on the way there and they didn't even appear fussed in the slightest.
The Sutton Arms has a good menu with a lot of different foods to choose from. Theres something for just about every pallet.
The lunch lunch time specials are a little more limited but for just under £5 you can't go wrong.
I went for Chicken and Yorkshire pudding which came with gravy mash and a roasty for some reason. Maybe the roast potato was meant to be there maybe it wasn't. If it was trying to escape though it failed. The meal also came with some cooked veg comprising of carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.
Now I like my Veg firm and they didn't disappoint. The Yorkshire pudding was crispy and the chicken was moist.
The meal was fantastic. All of it tasting great.
If I was to make one negative comment it would be that the gravy was not as think as I like it but that's a miner thing (I like my gravy so thick it has trouble poring).
The interior doesn't disappoint ether. The place is as quirky as they come with some of the most unusual collections of things for you to spend time inspecting.
If you get the chance please go. It really is a lovely place.

Tees river - walk
I've just come back from walking down by tees river. On both the Maze Park side the side with the with Portrack marsh.
As it was a great, sunny looking day I grabbed my Nikon Camera along with a 28-300mm zoom and a 10-20mm as well.
It's a nice place to walk. Odd too with so much industry and and the A19 bridge in the background. There are some hill's made of slag (he he slag) which give you an amazing view of the area.
Slide show of the view.
While there I was hoping to get a picture of a Grayling Butterfly but no luck.
I did however get a good, well I hope good at any rate, sequence of shots with a big bird of pray being mobbed by what I think are Crows or Rucks!
I also tried to get some butterfly shots and some of the wading birds.
What I did find interesting was that on the Tees there is a bank with what looked like house martin's nesting there. I'll have to get down there with a bigger lens.

Wildlife Trust - volunteer work
I'm off on this sunny Monday from work and to Hardwick Dene (cornforth close. T19 8PZ) to do some voluntary work for the Wildlife Trust.
I'm expecting to be digging around paths and clearing overgrown areas. You know that sort of thing.
On a day like this I'd usually be out with my camera but I'm looking forward to doing something more group orientated today as walking out with your camera taking pictures can be fun but is also not very social.
Then again this may not be ether :) .
***********************************
I've come back from my day volunteering. from 10:15am til 3:00pm.
We were digging a path and then putting down slag (tiny bits of what is a little like stones)
It's amazing how long it takes to do what looks like a small amount of path.
There were only three of us though.

pool hospital
There's a little place that is good for a walk that appears to only be known now to dog walkers and fishermen.
I'm talking about pool hospital!
The hospital may have gone but the pool is still there.
It's a bit uneven under foot but still a nice place to go for a walk.
There is the occasional Heron, Canada goose, Woodpecker and all of the other flora and fauna you'd expect.
I'll put up some pictures as soon as I can just to show how nice it is.
