BB-have you ever considered doing some sort of "advanced driver" course thingy? I had a minor bump a few years ago,after 25 years or so bump free driving,and it really knocked my confidence.DH suggested it was pyschological more than anything else so I booked a few sessions with an advanced instructor who got me back together again....just a thought..

I've thought quite a few times about having a couple of lessons but never had the bottle to go through with it. It's so ingrained now - it's been growing since.....well, since I passed my test in 96 really.

I'm eating hotel chocolat 'exuberantly fruity' truffles. They are lush and if I'm going to see the decade out in style I might as well do it pigging my face with my favourite chocs

Hello Peeps, back from my second day at looking for a wedding venue and the "perfect place" I found yesterday has now been dumped!

Undecided between:
The Vermont Hotel, Newcastle - https://www.vermont-hotel.com
The Hilton Newcastle Gateshead - https://www.hilton.co.uk/newcastlegateshead

The Vermont is very traditional, room is lovely, fantastic views (it's the highest building in Newcastle), great for photo's (right next to the keep) and central for people.
The Hilton is on the Gateshead side of the river, very light, airy and modern, again - fantastic views of the Tyne bridge, lovely room, I get the feeling the wedding coordinator at the Hilton would be more attentive to detail
Price difference between the two is negligible to be honest!!

Have you thought of this venue?

We were at a wedding there a couple of years ago and it was lovely.:D

Well it may well be worth revisiting the idea BB-doesn't sound like it'll go away on it's own...
Katie-which hotel do you work in? My folks spend loads of time at Hilton Coral Reef in Nuweiba....do you know it??i

Don't forget Google Books, I've been using there for research for essays and it's been a godsend, much better than the stupid search uni journal thing, which makes me log-in to EVERYTHING instead of having an auto login so I lose what I need

Hi, yes, I know Langley Castle very well, and it is lovely! But we're only having a small family wedding and we want somewhere that friends can come and join us later if they wish to so being in the centre of town seems the sensible option.
