Northeast England – Page 3

My Home Town

Walked around my home town, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Planned a coast-to-coast hike across a narrow part of England, following Hadrian’s Wall.

Walked to what was the local pub when I was a kid, the only building in the neighborhood with much character. Enjoyed a 20 fluid ounce pint.

Dined at the New New Bengal, Newcastle upon Tyne. We had to change dinner plans a few years ago the night the New Bengal went up in flames.

Taunted Dwight at work in Minneapolis with a photo of my elevenses in Newcastle: millionaire’s shortbread. Chocolate, caramel, shortbread.

Now in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, my childhood stomping ground.

Posted Small Experiences on a Big Journey.

Friends, family, cakes, finger sandwiches, scones, sausage rolls. A perfect last evening in Newcastle and the UK.

We explored the National Railway Museum.

Nephews’ and their uncles’ backpacks ready for the next adventure: train from Newcastle upon Tyne to York.
