Time slides downhill fast.
Back up North in a day and a half and, although certain elements have grated as they always do we haven't quite got pig sick of suburban England-shire just yet. Give it another day and a half though...
Newcastle was great - will go into that in more depth when we can upload pictures. Visited the quayside, the Baltic, the Sage and all that - will post the pics soon. One highlight was Sagawa, a charming Japanese restaurant which confirmed to us that all pubs should ditch pork scratchings and peanuts obscuring Page 3 stunnas and serve edamame - steamed soya beans in their pods with a sprinklng of salt - instead. The perfect accompaniment for a pint.
Lincoln has changed - although so have we. We have been avoiding some old haunts on purpose to avoid stirring up old memories, so perhaps we've been seeking out new ones. Pimento Tea Rooms on Steep Hill was a welcome newbie today, a lovely veggie eaterie that serve great cakes and nice tea too.
Nicola was a sight for sore eyes - she's officially our oldest friend after we bonded *cough cough* years ago in a newsagent over Morrissey. It was great to get together with her, her blokie Nick and lovely daughter Holly. We don't have many friends but we do miss those that we do have.
We don't have much to say tonight - just a collection of words in a sensible order - but there are things to commit to screen which will have to wait until we are suitably engaged to do so... until then, underwhelmed readers....
