A DAY IN NEWCASTLE

Boy has it been hot today. Hubby and I decided to take the bus to Newcastle which believe me is a long trip especially as on the return journey the driver had to switch the engine off at one of the stops to let the engine cool down!!!! We never thought we would get back.
But sitting upstairs not only gave the best view of the surrounding area but all the windows were open so the breeze cooled us perfectly.
Taken under the Tyne bridge this view was spectacular. I love Newcastle. The people are friendly the shops are to die for and if you look past the unloved buildings the rest are amazing. Plus I went there rather a lot when I worked and actually enjoyed those days.
A few guitar shops just had to have a visit but thankfully no money changed hands in them this trip - phew!
We made it back and headed straight to the Talpore which is at the gates of the White Water CC.
That hit the spot as did the sirloin steak that followed.
Tomorrow is a pondering day so that will be nice before the excitement of the weekend. More on that next week.
