One of Richmond's older residents, 90 today and still going strong. She worked in Irvings chemist for years, an agony aunt for half the town! A regular at the Methodist Church, and often seen sitting at her living room window watching the comings and goings outside.

Love this view of Richmond from the West, somewhere here Turner painted Richmond. In the distance the Vale of York gives way to the North York Moors.

The market hall has waxed and waned over the years, today it has a good collection of craft stalls, a big book stall, coins, collectables and charity stalls. Do you have a favourite?

So lovely to wander the banks of the Swale today with Bluebells and Wild Garlic for company. Spotted a Dipper too, such busy little birds.
