The Allendalek

The last time we were in Northumberland at February Half term, one day, CBC and I drove to Allendale, a really vibrant remote town a distance from Hexham.  We've spent new year there before for the tar barrel burning but I've not been there since.
We were hoping to go to the Museum of Classic Sci-Fi to see the Allendalek which has courted controversy in the last year or so.

Alas, the museum was closed that day but since we were there, we went into the Forge cafe to eat lunch and look at some artwork.   To our delight, we saw this beautiful Stained glass piece which is of the Allendalek.  The museum is actually just behind the stained glass Dalek.



Here's hoping we get to see it the next time we are in Northumberland.

  5. Write it on a piece of paper and make a list of all the things you want to do when this is over. My sister in law is doing the same - top of their list is going to feed the ducks! :)
