Cake on the Tyne
I’m currently sitting in the back bar of the Central. We’ve had a pleasant afternoon/evening in Town. And an important discovery was made – beer and cake are a great combination.
Statement
Our annual mortgage statement arrived yesterday. In just a year and a half we shall be mortgage free. No, 18 months. That sounds closer.
Cofresh
Asda in Peterborough used to stock some gorgeous chilli and lemon snacks. They were from a company called Cofresh. Asda in the northeast didn’t seem to stock them so we’ve not found them since my second in command moved north.
And they’be keen missed ever since. Until my discovery in Tesco, in the Asian food isle today, that is. They must be stocked here because the eastern European section’s smaller in Gateshead than in East Anglia.
I should probably acknowledge that that the picture above depicts the Jalapeno variety, which is also very nice.
Graffiti
While on a train from Birmingham this afternoon, I noticed some random rail (purposeful) graffiti
Ok, so a little I imagination is required. But it wasn’t me. After all, I’d have been more artistic.
Telford
I’m in Telford and it feels a bit weird. Weird because I used to spend a lot of time here. And because the town centre’s changed a lot. It’s still very much like Washington, but you can see that a lot of money’s been spent here recently. I mean, Asda has moved to the other side of the shopping centre.
Some things haven’t changed though; Wetherspoons is still the only pub. And it’s still signposted.
Ouseburn on a school day
After a couple of pints of Taddy lager in the Tyne Bar, my second in command and I had food in the Cluny, with a pint of Erdinger. We’re now in the Cumberland Arms, or outside, with a rather nice Atom IPA.
Kendal Calling
My second in command and I are currently sitting in the Tyne Bar, having showered and hosed-down our tent, following our return home, this morning, from Kendal Calling. It was a very grown up, little, festival. And we enjoyed it very much.
