To get round the back of the former Bate's colliery site you pass the reed ponds constructed to filter the water which seeps out of the old workings.
On Tuesday the ponds had been drained and I guess, from the stacks of plants near the fence, they were restocking the reeds.
Captions welcome.
I will start with Muddy Waters or, for those of us with small grandchildren, Muddy Puddles. Oink Oink!
NB claarts is Northumbrian for mud (that's the polite version!)
