Well last weekend was very busy for me. A trip to the Riverside Stadium on saturday to watch the boro play Bolton- not a good result. Then off to Newcastle for a reunion with Phil's friends Ian, Mike, Chris, John, Pete and Tim, from University. We enjoyed the pleasures of the Cluny in Byker before going onto the Simla Indian on the Quayside, before going 'home' to our twin private room in the Youth Hostel in Jesmond.
People just don't realise how improved the Youth Hostel Association is as an organisation. We even had a huge choice of breakfast items prepared for us ready for our late arrival in the dining room the next morning! After breakfast we took the Metro to meet with friends for a coffee in Blakes on Grey Street, opposite the Theatre Royal. We then shook off the cobwebs and headed down the Quayside for a stroll amongst the market stalls in the glorious winter sunshine all the way along the river looking toward the Sage, Baltic, blinking eye Millennium and Tyne Bridges.
It really is a wonderful city. Walking along the Tyne we all marvelled at how much Newcastle had changed in the past 20 years and hope for similar wonders for our own town of Middlesbrough in the coming decade!
