Childe and Me at the Cafe Royale in Newcastle
Hallellujah ... some minutes to sit at the computer and write about my latest escapade. I have recently returned to Somerton from ten days in Newcastle to stay with 'the kids.' I had a lovely time with them, of course, and am already looking forward to my next trip there. That's not so far away. I'm going back on October 31st for another ten days! Kate and Sean have booked a few plays and have included me in their plans. Lucky moi. We're going to see The Pirates of Penzance, King John, and Much Ado About Nothing (I think :-).
I'm now feeling that I can find my way around Newcastle relatively well. On this visit, I spent quite a bit of time at the Cafe Royale, with and without Kate and Sean. It's an irresistible place as all of their food is delicious and the ambiance is just right.
Kate and Sean are both well and working hard. They spend long hours at their respective hospitals but love their jobs. They're enjoying life in Newcastle and are exploring the area every chance they get ... me too, when I'm there.
Gill and Brian are both well. Here's a recent photo of them. Brian and his fiancee, Lili, were here this past weekend as today is Gill's birthday. We've been celebrating since Saturday. She's 77 today but still looks so much younger than that.
