This week we needed to catch up with relatives and old friends so Tuesday saw us visiting my late cousin’s husband and her daughter to see how they were doing. Then on Wednesday Martin and I met up with my old school friend. She took a half day from work and we picked her up from her house, we then went down to Blyth beach to have some lunch as there is a lovely fish and chip restaurant there now. Being a lovely sunny day the place was packed.
After lunch we had a walk along the prom to blow the cobwebs away, then diverted to the path which runs through the sand dunes stopping periodically at the benches on the way for a rest as my leg was giving me a bit pain. As we walked we past these wooden carvings which show cyclists – I am assuming they are a memorial to some cyclists who were killed on the road close by. They were cleverly carved like triptychs.
Thursday we visited one of my old work colleagues at her home – it’s always good to catch up with her and we got talking about family trees and I ended up promising to find out what I could for her about hers – I’ve done some research for her and will take what I’ve found with me on my next visit.
On Friday my sister and I took the two little ones out to the Royal Quays Shopping Outlet where my eldest nephew has a toy shop and I took some photos of the boys trying out one of the remote controlled cars.
He also has a website: www.toyinfinityandbeyond.co.uk
Saturday saw myself, my sister and my youngest niece wandering around Costco looking for wedding favours.
Then all too soon Sunday arrived and it was time to return home.
Our next visit will be a flying one at the end of January for my niece’s wedding.
