We slept well
and arose at our leisure in the Travelodge.
Staying at Durham Travelodge was quite appropriate considering our
holiday because it was the original Durham railway station and up until the
1960s it was used as a goods station and yard.
We had our breakfast (not as good as the Premier Inn) and walked to the home of our niece and 2
year old great nephew. We were soon
there and were received rather reticently at first by the young one but
enthusiastically by our niece.

He soon got
used to us and we were soon active playmates.
We had some lunch and after a sleep we ventured out for a walk/bug ride
around the cul de sac. All went well, we
collected some stones and on the way back met a neighbour who provided a
kit-kat finger as fuel for the rest of the way home. It was lovely to see them and after another
cup of tea and more playing we withdrew back to the Travelodge. Part of the Durham Christmas illuminations
are reindeer on the several roundabouts and there was one near where we are
staying. Later we went for a good meal at the adjacent Italian restaurant. We then relaxed and retired relatively early.
