Just back from Beadnell, Northumbria, where we met up with everyone from the Discovery holiday.  It was just excellent to be able to pick up from where we left off, after bidding our farewells in the Discovery Lounge back in August 08.  (DL was the scene of our many quiz triumphs, btw.)  Rosemary put us through our quiz paces again, after a terrific buffet chez Carol and Roger, and we had a happy time exploring even more of our favourite (my Lancastrian mother-in-law will argue with me on this point) English county.  Next time we meet up we hope that Jean is fully recovered, but it was much appreciated that everyone was able to be there.

One picture of dinner last night :-

On Saturday we went here, to the Alnwick Garden. It’s brill.  There are so many very interesting places to visit in the vicinity. We are taking Carol’s viewpoint though, we don’t want to tell you about them.  Hmmph.
