A big column in a city
centre seemed to baffle everyone for last week's Sunday
Snap. The major clue was the bergamot scented tea as the
Newcastle structure pictured was Grey's Monument and was erected in
commemorate the achievements of
Charles Grey, 2nd
Earl Grey
So no free cups of tea this
week for anyone.
Onto this week and we have a
rather gloomy view of a rain-soaked castle. Built in the 11th
century it has been part of the city's university since 1840. It is
rather overshadowed by the cathedral that stands opposite it. Between
them they are jointly designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site. This
week's question is
Where is this castle
located?
We were joined last week by
Cheryl
whose children had a bug's eye view. There was mamavteacher's
little park playing daredevil. In New Zealand there was a fairy hunt
going on underneath Betty's toadstools. We were also treated to two further shots from the North East. From @EmmyPips on Twitter there was a photo of Souter Lighthouse. Finishing off was @CannyFood with their view of Newcastle.

I'll
share my favourites with you next week and remember I do like a bit
of a tale to go with a photo but it's not a necessity!
It sure looks like it's out of place in our world, but I adore it sitting behind all the trees and shrubs.
