No Mozz I find it amusing that people would visit tea rooms/ shops to ask about Cummings , it may not show in the link but it was on my local news of locals being interviewed
I like Barnard Castle. Many years ago 1st MrJ2 and I took daughters and schoolfriend on a really successful caravan holiday there. We ran out of b'b'q fuel so the girls scoured the fields for twigs... good fun - and the swan was great too.
It seems a shame that people only go there because of brief notoriety. Current MrJ2 and I have been planning a trip there - roll on decent weather.
