    Hi jack,
    played the piano a little but not very good.
    have a nice time at the coast,iff you are still going to feed that cat i would get dried food theres nothing worse than leaving fresh food lying around especially out side. at least the cat has its box, cats can be left as they are very independant, enjoy

    We didn't actually get inside either, it was suprising how long it took to look round the castle, plus the childrens activities and gift shops....next time we're in the area we'll visit the treehouse and gardens. Husband found time to go in britains largest second hand bookshop in Alnwick though - looking for books on trains. Obviously.

    Thanks Sunrise, though think we'll be paying another visit. Do envy you Rosa. Could very happily live in that neck of the woods. Love the walled town.

    Off to Beamish on Sunday. Haven't been for 25 years. (My word, was it really that long!!) I'll take some pics ... I've one that was taken when I was 18 outside the pit with the miners helmet on. I'll take a similar shot and see how much I've changed! If I dare!!
