Numb Bum !!

[Debs]

HA !! bet that got your attention

Was deprived of going to the lottie on Sunday due to the weather suddenly turning into Winter.
So sat in greenhouse with the rugrats and sowed seeds ( plum tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, broccoli ) to make up for the blizzards of snow outside.

Very satisfying.. except me bums still numb from sitting on an upturned terracotta plantpot.

Better than being a numb skull (American expression I think).

I`m from the North East, haven`t visited Whitley Bay in donkeys years...............is the Spanish City still there?

[busy_lizzie]

Sue, The Spanish City no longer exists unfortunately as the fairground was cleared and the site has recently had a school built on it - "Marine Park".   A lot of people think that it was a waste of a prime site,and something more recreational should  have been developed on it. It has turned Whitley Bay into more of a residential area and moved away from being a Resort now.

It does look a very good school though with lots of of good facilities for the children and it has a fantastic sea view!  However we do still have the "Dome" and the surrounding area which they hope to develop, but that is another story!   busy_lizzie

Haven`t been to Whitley Bay since the summer of 1948, when three of us went to the beach for a swim.  We had the devil`s own job getting back to dry land from the undertow, and wouldn`t have done had we not all been strong swimmers.

As those little seeds begin shooting up, don't forget to keep telling them they've got to grow good Debs and let them know how you suffered numb bum just to give them a good start in life
