A whole weekend off! But how to celebrate? With friends is the best way, I'm sure, so Sunday I strolled round the wonderful Newcastle Community Green Festival, ate nice food, heard lovely music, enjoyed my friend's company and bumped into one or two others.
Monday it was off to Herrington Country Park on a sunny but cold morning to admire the cygnets, and the trees and the scenery generally and then off to the garden centre nearby for lunch. I should say at this point that food features at least as prominently as walking in this weekend! I'd like to say that later on I walked all the way from home to the Lawe Top to watch the lighting of the Jubilee beacon, but I chickened out and took the car, but I did walk from Arbeia so that must count for something!
Tuesday it was off to Whitburn for coffee followed by a walk along Roker seafront and back including a lunch stop. The friend on this occasion is always so smartly dressed it puts me to shame, and I salute her for walking the whole way, including a section of sand, in court shoes. It just goes to underline that we can and should all walk at all times. Especially when the sun is out and the coast looks fantastic.
