restaurants

Last weekend we had a girls weekend in Newcastle a bit of shopping, good food, a sprinkling of culture and lots of chatting and laughter. My friend Susie owns a flat in West Jesmond and kindly invited Daryl, Amanda and I to stay. The good food started as soon as we got off the train, a very tasty tapas in a Spanish restaurant. The next day we went to the coast, Tynemouth, and had classic fish and chips. Before our lunch we had browsed around the flea market, held on the Victorian station platform at Tynemouth.

Alice has been home from Uni for about a week now, on Good Friday we went for a family lunch at L'Italiana, situated in French Row near the clock tower. We enjoyed the basic Italian fare, the service was good and we were pleasantly surprised how reasonable the bill was, we would go there again.
