Holland comes to Newcastle

Took Mike over to Newcastle for the day to see Emma, who has now settled into her new place for year four of her medical degree. We had lunch, did a bit of clothes shopping and Emma decided she needed some plants for her room. In the midst of Newcastle's market was a stall from Holland selling flowers. I liked the sunflowers, but for a students house, Emma wisely chose some cacti, although she and Mike both got stabbed by them in the process of getting them home!
