The divine Mrs Hg and I have finally managed to spend more than ten minutes together in the same room this week. We’ve just booked a few days away in the Newcastle/Durham area next week.
Any recommendations as to what we should do when we’re up there will be gratefully received. You probably know our leisure tastes by now – restaurants, pubs, art galleries, shopping, etc. We live like church mice at home, honestly.
