Holiday in Nice

Tuesday, 13 October 2009 3:37 P GMT
We had an early start on the first day of our holiday with two train journeys that day to get us to Paris.  By late morning we were in London and it was a short stroll across to St Pancras for the Eurostar.  The trip through the tunnel was

Hexham

Thursday, 27 August 2009 10:03 P GMT
It was decided that if the weather was good enough, today we would take a trip to Hexham.  Well, the sky was blue and the sun was shining so a leisurely breakfast and a short train journey later we were walking through the town on our way f

Sea air

Wednesday, 26 August 2009 2:16 P GMT
Yesterday for the first time in awhile since I've been on holiday the sun was shining so we decided it would be a good day for a trip to the coast.  We even took the sun block with us not that it was actually needed.  It was a lovely da

The Eden Project

Monday, 18 May 2009 10:24 P GMT
It was a long journey - two trains and twelve hours door to door - but it was worth it.  On Tuesday last week we took a short break in Cornwall to visit a place we had always wanted to see - The Eden Project.The place we were staying in, Charles

York

Wednesday, 6 August 2008 8:14 P GMT
A trip we had planned and booked for yesterday was in doubt for awhile as Dad still wasn't completely well.  But he said it was silly for us not to go as the tickets were non-refundable so Mum and I took the train down to York for

Visiting The Baltic

Monday, 4 August 2008 8:00 P GMT
We had a slight change of plans this morning.  We had planned a fairly full day out but unfortunately Dad wasn't feeling too well so Mum and I just took ourselves into town and then got the bus down to the Quayside, mainly to have a look in

Scotland

We set off for our weekend away on Friday morning and after a short train journey we arrived at Berwick to be met by my cousin who drove us straight back to her house.  A lazy day followed relaxing in the sun which shone all weekend, I'm hap

Tutankhamun

Wednesday, 23 April 2008 3:33 P GMT
Our day out to London got off to a great start when the train pulled into Kings Cross a whole ten minutes early, a rare occurence!  Not that we would have minded too much if it had been a bit late as we had treated ourselves to first c

Decorating

Wednesday, 12 December 2007 10:54 P GMT
I came straight home this afternoon and after a quick lunch we put some Christmas carol CDs on and got down to the enjoyable job of decorating the house and the tree for Christmas.  We had a couple of problems with things not wanting to sta

Christmas tree

Tuesday, 11 December 2007 7:55 P GMT
I actually managed to get home at a reasonable time today, only calling in for a couple of important things including balloons for when we decorate.  So I was home in plenty of time for our Christmas tree arriving.  And it certainly is a ve

Terracotta Army

Thursday, 22 November 2007 8:50 P GMT
Our day out to London got off to a good start when the train pulled into King's Cross ten minutes early.  That made up for the horrible tea they had been serving!  We took a quick peak at the newly refurbished St Pancras which we were i

Afternoon tea

Thursday, 30 August 2007 10:36 P GMT
Sometimes it seems as if a large part of holidays is eating.  Today was a contrast of meals each of them in their way nice.  This morning we decided to have a walk down by the coast.  The weather wasn't terrific first thing but it

Lost in Durham

Wednesday, 22 August 2007 8:08 P GMT
Should we or shouldn't we?  That was the question this morning when we got up and saw how cloudy, windy and chilly it was.  We had planned to go to Durham today but weren't sure if it was worth it.  I checked the BBC, the Met O

Fat ladies and the quayside

Monday, 20 August 2007 7:01 P GMT
The first question we asked this morning was is the weather good enough to do anything?  Things looked good, it was cool but there was a blue sky so we decided the quayside it was.  I went to check the times of the buses and as I did so the

Decorating

Tuesday, 12 December 2006 8:48 P GMT
A quick lunch when I got home this afternoon and then it was down to the very enjoyable job of decorating the house and the tree for Christmas.  Usually the tree is delivered the day before so it has some time to open up fully but the garden cen

Butterflies

Monday, 9 October 2006 1:58 P GMT
It's amazing what is still coming into the garden at this time of year.  Our ivy for some reason at the minute is covered in butterflies and wasps.  I managed to nip out and grab some pictures before Dad went out to chop it all back.&nb

Chairs and cartoons

Tuesday, 22 August 2006 7:30 P GMT
Why does everything come self-assembly nowadays. And why can't they give you proper instructions when they do! My new chair arrived this morning and this afternoon Dad and I spent a very frustrating and tiring half hour putting it together - onc

By the river

Tuesday, 8 August 2006 8:08 P GMT
Today we decided to go back down to the Quayside and take a walk along by the river as we'd promised ourselves last week but didn't get round to. That whole area has been regenerated in the most amazing way in the last few years and an area that was

Wild seas

Monday, 7 August 2006 9:52 P GMT
There was grey cloud around this morning but we didn't let that stop us and we were glad we didn't. They said the heatwave was over but by late morning the cloud had gone and it was very hot. We'd headed for the coast for some good sea air - and a lu

At the quay

Friday, 4 August 2006 9:54 P GMT
We finally got a day that promised decent weather so we took ourselves out for a walk and some fresh air. We went down to the Quayside to have a wander round and some lunch. We took the bus from town there and back. It's a fairly new route and makes

Scotland

Monday, 17 July 2006 10:18 P GMT
I took the Metro to the station after work on Thursday and met Mum and Dad to get the train to Berwick to start our weekend in Scotland staying with my cousin. One horrible chicken salad sandwich later we were off. My cousin met us and took us first

Blue skies blue sea

Friday, 9 June 2006 7:27 P GMT
The weather keeps on getting better, hotter and sunnier and we thought we should make the most of it so we arranged that after work I'd get the Metro down to Tynemouth and meet Mum and Dad for some lunch and some good sea air. Things didn't look too

Easter biscuits

Saturday, 15 April 2006 3:23 P GMT
Out for a little shopping this morning. Tesco was as awful as we expected. So many people shopping and so many people who didn't seem to know where they wanted to be. One very surprising thing was that they were already selling their Easter eggs with

Eclipse

Wednesday, 29 March 2006 1:24 P GMT
I was feeling much better this morning and even ventured outside for awhile.  Back to work tomorrow I think. But being at home gave me a chance to try and take some pictures of the eclipse or at least the partial eclipse we had here. It was inc

Cake again

Wednesday, 22 March 2006 8:04 P GMT
We had a talk at work today about Estates who are the people who look after the maintenance of the University. I love the way figures such as £40 million, £200 million are casually tossed about in conversation. And I fret over balancing m
