River Wear

Taken from the green pedestrian bridge

Sunset at Beachy Head

This was taken during our caravan summer holiday. Love those cliffs.

I couldn't remember all the details when I uploaded this today. Daniel tells me that this was a trip to Newcastle on the bus, on Sept 13 2007. He remembers it because he was carrying his Tin Tin book and bus timetables. We went to our first ever Life-Seeker show at the Centre for Life, which was brill. We also went to the Chinatown Express for lunch and brought back some food for Moira. Wow, what a memory you have Daniel!

One of the many trips that we did down to the smelly green bridge over the Wear. I think this was the day that we went all the way to Penshaw. Daniel is pulling a good funny face.

Caravan trip to Welwyn, Summer 2007

While we were at Welwyn, Ruben invited us over to his girlfriend Jackie's house. It was a very nice cozy place, and Ruben did some reading with Daniel. We had a very nice supper there with some of our left-over chilli con carne, and some of Jackie's ratatoille.

Caravan trip to Eastbourne 2007

This was taken at Beachy Head. The cliffs looked fabulous in the evening sun.

First visit to Ming Ki in Newcastle

And we were very pleasantly surprised. Roast duck (off bone) with rice sticks soup. Best duck I've tasted outside of London's legendary Hung Toa restaurant in Queensway.

Waiting for the Quaylink bus. A lovely warm day in September. I quite liked the poem.

Libby's favourite things

This is fun! "Making a potion", she calls it. One of Libby's all time favourites, mixing things. And especially things that smell nice, preferably nice perfumes and lotions.

Trip to London October 4 2007

This is a little movie that I did while we were on the bus going from the Strand to Green Park station. A nice view of Trafalgar sq.

Trip to London October 4 2007

In Greenwhich Park, on the way back, we came across this fantastic sculpture.

Trip to London October 4 2007

We went on the Dockland's Light Railway to Greenwich, and then on the road train to the Observatory on the top of the hill. From there is one of the best views of London, and this was an absolutely beatiful day to enjoy it.

Trip to London October 4 2007

When we got out at Canary Wharf we found that we had exited the station from the east end, so had this lovely little park to walk through. I think Daniel was also very impressed and wants to make sure we always go through this park from now on.

Trip to London October 4 2007

After Kintaro's we went to Haagen Daz for dessert. It was lovely and sunny and warm so we sat outside. Was it good? Daniel's expression says it all!

Trip to London October 4 2007

Of course, we had to do a visit to our favourite restaurant, Kintaro's. Daniel had his usual favourite, Teriyake Mackerel, while I went for the small Sushi. Yum!!!!!

Trip to London October 4 2007

This was a fab day. We got the 7.20 from Newcastle, and had a full English breakfast on the train. Excellent! Our first stop was Covent Garden for the London Transport museum, which unfortunately has still not reopened. So we got a bus from The Strand to Green Park, and then Tubed it to South Kensington so that we could visit the V&A. We managed to get the front seats on the top deck. Nice!
