Sorry for the short notice, just had some great news notso is coming to Newcastle smile, is anyone interested on meeting for Early Lunch in Newcastle on Monday 20th May.

Thank you glass and moomin for a lovely lunch and get-together, it was so good to meet you both smile
What a great city Newcastle is.....and very helpful to get recommendations about where to visit and eat.
Tucked up back at the hotel now and planning a big trail round and explore tomorrow.
Thank you both smile

It was lovely to meet notso in Newcastle.smile
Where we had arranged to meet for coffee had changed their opening hours so I had to drag notso up the biggest hill in the centre of Newcastle, when we caught our breath we had coffee and a good natter then wandered comfortably downhill to Oak where we meet moomin.
Then had a very filling lunch at Babucho with lots more nattering, but I am sorry to say that we forgot to take photos. sad

How lovely, it will be great to meet you moominsmile

I haven't been to Newcastle since the late 1970's. I took my youngest daughter there for the fitting of a bridesmaid dress that had been sent up from a shop in Berkshire. (We were living in Teeside at the time)

Had a great time there untill DD was suddenly hit with excruciating stomach pains and we ended up in A & E at Newcastle General. After much anxiety and endless tests we were informed by a VERY twinkly eyed Irish Paediatric Consultant.....that it was wind! blush
