It’s amazing to think that the spring is rapidly on the way, after a Darlington February that seemed to combine slushiness and mushiness (that’s the snow and Valentine’s we’re talking about)!
That (hopefully) means much better weather in which to get out and about, and sure enough, we’ve got another helping of monthly events listings for you on page 34 of our latest issue.
Speaking of events, also check out our features on how you can make the most of Mother’s Day (page 12) and St Patrick’s Day (page 30) – don’t be tempted to just buy your Mum a Guinness Easter egg to cover all of the bases!
In rather sadder news, if you flick to page 24, you can also read Chester-le-Track stationmaster Alex Nelson’s reflections on the impending closure of the face-to-face train ticket firm at the end of this month, bringing an end to its presence at both Chester-le-Street and Eaglescliffe railway stations.
