We were having a half hearted house hunt on
the internet the other day and one location revealled a Nissen hut being used
as the village hall at Hett village. It seemed like a good excuse to go for a Jeep ride and
explore, so we had a run up there on Sunday afternoon. While driving through
the village, we also found a WW1 memorial to soldiers lost from the village in
the 14-18 war.

Not far away was Sunderland bridge, where I wanted to try and catch the railway viaduct from the old
original stone road bridge across the river. Unfortunately the tree growth was
much larger than on the Google street view, so the viaduct wasn't as visible. By that time, little legs was saying she was hungry, so we made a detour
across the moors to Broom House Farm for coffee and cake!

There were some lovely wild flowers in their car park. On the way home from the farm, we spotted Durham Cathedral in the distance. A chilly run out of 40 miles, but the sun came out towards the end of the trip. The trees are just starting to turn, but haven't yet developed their full Autumn colours.
