Across to Tynemouth today...

...in time for Wallsend Gels meet in Gosforth...
Cocktails, a lovely meal and the usual varied conversation and catch up...

A quick blip towards North Shields as we arrived late this aft - numerous benches for quiet contemplation of the river! A friend refers to them rather frivolously as "dead benches" as most have been donated in memory of someone who loved the view... And who wouldn't?
