Newcastle evening

Incredibly busy and tiring first day at conference - it always is - but it all went quite well. This evening we went straight from the conference to the Baltic Centre, for our welcome reception there. It was a lovely do, with a barbecue out on the terrace - and this fabulous view. I spent a good hour or so talking to one of our delegates from Canada about bears and beautiful views and lovely places to go. I'm now hankering after another trip to Canada...!
