The big problem with the Tynemouth lake being on the sea-front is finding a parking space ....unless, like Nemesis, you get there at o-crack-sparrow wotsit. But as it is usually tipping it down at Bank Holidays my options remain open. BY.

Surely the last Bank Holiday of the year is normally the 26th December, but this year it's the 28th December??

Drove from Glasgow to Cheltenham for the nephew's 60th birthday party. As It wasn't a Scoottish BH, no other scots going South, but lots of Englanders using their BH to go North. So chaos going North on Sturday, and South on Monday, and we were oing the other way!! Hooray. NB saw loads of Goldwings with trailers going South - must have been a GW rally.
