📷 PHOTO OF THE WEEK 📷

The Photo of the Week this week is titled "I love golllld!!!" and was taken by James Berry in Tudhoe Colliery.

"I had just returned from a bike ride around the gorgeous woods near here and entered the house to see beams of light shining through the living room doors' glass, so I leapt out to grab my camera and took this photo." James recounts.

"It was in winter which, to me, makes it even more special as you don't often get these kinds of evenings in winter."
