Our very first 'Dog of the Day' winner- and what an absolute beauty!

Sophie was spotted walking with her dad along Durham's riverbanks. She chose her treat and won her dad a free coffee at Cafe at The Quarter - the amazing dog friendly café in the centre of Durham.

Sophie finally posed for the camera after trying to avoid the hill by introducing herself to our group. It was the highlight of our tour.

A massive thank you to Amy at Café at The Quarter for collaborating on this new venture.

The final one of the three indie bookshops I visited last week was People's Bookshop.
The new location on High Street is perfect for their upcoming events. Check out the blog to see what's coming up.

No storm can stop these two from doing the Full City Tour on Saturday morning. Conditions were a lot different from their native California and Venezuela but they soldiered on. Good craic and a fab morning.

My habitual pre-tour coffee has to be at Chapters Durham . Can't beat having leisurely cappuccino or a swift espresso in the window seat. Amazing for food also, but don't tell the chef I said this. She'll never catch a break!

Join our History Tour, today (25th June) at 4pm.
No booking needed as the sign will be out.
£13 per person.
1.5 hours, 1.2 miles.
Meet at the 'Man on The Horse' in the Market Place- Look for the sign and my black umbrella.

I'm now into my fifth year of running Walkabout Durham. All the tours are researched and created by myself and, despite offering four tours, this is still my favourite one. Love delivering it each day and meeting a range of fascinating people.

Where in Durham can we find this little green spot?
