Golden Ticket

We packed overnight bags and headed down the A1 again.  First stop was Berwick Rugby Club to watch BB’s team.  We got there later than planned, so only saw the last fifteen minutes of the game.  They won, which was a bonus.

We continued on our journey to visit TT’s sister in Newcastle.  We got there in time for lunch.  Once we were fed, we headed into Newcastle and had a walk around the Quayside, before checking out Fenwick’s windows.  This has become an annual tradition for us.  This year’s theme is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Town was so busy, we were glad to head home to warm up and enjoy a glass of fizz before heading out for a lovely Italian meal.  That is everyone except TT, who had ordered cannelloni, but got a dish of something that was not cannelloni.  After a few words with the waitress he re-ordered lasagne and was delighted with it. 

We were all very full and a bit weary when we got home and watched a movie.  When match of the day came on, the girls left the boys to it.

Here is Charlie with his golden ticket.
