Jess love having them home, but now they are getting older harder to find things to do with them, if it doesn't involve a screen they are just not interested!!! And I hate having to fight for MY computer! ;)

Wardy is there a pub nearby?? ;D

Just did a route plan, and it reckoned it would take us 8 hours and 15 mins to get there  :o  Not a weekend thing for us then! ;D

eee  Wardy, I just love going to Seahouses and Holy Island.  Its an afternoons trip for me and we were last there in May.  It was a freezing cold day on Holy Island but the skies were clear and it was peacefull.  I did get a chill in my eye that same day and ended up with 'red eye'.  silly billy!!!  Worth a visit Doris and Lottie.  If you come up this way you got to tell me tho!!!! 

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

We went to Northumberland for a week or so a couple of years ago and keep meaning to go back.  Beautiful place inland as well as by the coast, and lots of interesting 'Roman Britain' sites.

Aw Glyn, I would love to see your beautiful adopted home.  Canada looks just beautiful in all the Pictures I have seen of the place.  Maybe, just maybe in a couple of years,  I will take the plunge and be real brave and go up in a plane and land there for a few days!!!!    ;D ;D ;D ;D  Dont want to be away from this beautiful country too long!!!

Glad you had a good holiday Wardy. 8)
Make the most of today, because you'll never have it back again.

Wardy,

You have filled me with feelings of guilt and shame :-[

I live less than an hours drive away and it is easy to forget

what is on the doorstep.

I feel a visit at the weekend with kids, dog and picnic is long

overdue!

Debs :)
