Still in the North

Still in Newcastle and having the darndest trouble hiring an automatic car so will have to modify my plans and bus it to The Lakes and give Yorkshire a miss.

Yesterday went with Michelle and her mum to the Workingman's Club in Wallsend and played bingo (yes I really did do this) and then into town for a pub lunch (a Sunday ritual) and the a walk round the Quayside (the trendy part)...new art galleries and performace space....great to see this sort of stuff happening in the North which traditionally draws the short straw.

Off to Alnwick Castle today and will leave here in the morning tomorrow probably to Keswick...I am getting to know the inside of buses quite well (sigh).

The news on the election does not bode well for our future...hope those swinging voters come to their senses by polling day .

  1. The real question is: Did you win at Bingo? Wonder if the Brits are as kooky at their Bingo games as the Yanks are....madness...but fun to watch it all unfold. YAY you!

  2. Perhaps we could just hold the election as a giant game of bingo?
