Not aptly named for the North Gare but packed the car this morning with a blanket. towel. bairn. dog. pop. crisps. biccys and oh nearly forgot the good lady.
And what a great day we have had and it never cost a penny even went for a plodge.

Just got back from Druridge Bay - about half an hours drive north from me. Two kids, mrs, dog, picnic, buckets and spades. Had a great day and built lots of sandcastles, moats and lakes. Then a carvery. Still seems odd there's no football to look out for

Love the blue lagoon, its as if the wind get in this little pocket of beach.

Me and jess will deffo be visiting it this weekend if it stays nice, we we're on the normal seaton beach today n it was just too busy.

It was superb Yubep there was about 10 people on the beach the sun beating down people pay thousands for days like this.

You built a carvery?

I went to work for 12 hours. And I'm going back there tomorrow for another 12

it's forecast rain tomorrow

that's alright then!!

worked in garden for about three hours and then did the hallowed ground (headland) - tide out, sun out, breeze blowing - THE most beautiful place in the world at that moment.

Went to Yarm high street on me vespa with the missus, sat by the river soaking up the sun

Went to preston park, had a look round museum, sat about soaked up sun again

Set off home got to the fecking blue lagoon and my scooter seized up

Its better now but my trip to Osmotherly on the bike has been spoilt by the fecking rain
