    Eagle Owl I know it's probably an escapee but it's still nice to see one from your bedroom window. The bird has been calling constantly since half five this morning and was last seen on a telegraph pole in Valley View, Sacriston. B (:

    Weather warning If anyone is planning on travelling via Chester le Street please allow extra time or take an alternative route. Due to the heavy rainfall the drains haven't been able to cope and the roads are badly flooded, especially around the town centre and the A167 riverside roundabout.
