    Thank you for sharing…so lovely. 
     There was a shop at Seahouses (just up the road from Bamburgh) we used to swear was magic. It consisted of lots of rooms and seemed to go on forever like a tardis. One of those Open all hours type shops that had everything 😊

    We passed through Seahouses and said we’d visit if we head that way again…..which I’m pretty sure we will 👍

    The fish and chips used to be very good there…but it’s been a while 😂 and the little lifeboat shop and the crazy golf 😀

    Good t see you SG58. EH we did do a fair bit but not as much as we usually do….we took it a lot easier. 
    We’ve seen ds over the last couple of days. He drove us to a lovely place we’ve never been to before about an hour and half away. It’s a reservoir in the next county…..we took a picnic and spent a lovely hour or so eating it whilst watching a family of ducks on the water. We drove to a town closer to home famous for its spa waters and there had been a weekend of festivities. We just caught the last half hour of a local band playing and even found a bench to sit on. A great atmosphere 😁.I was shattered after my busy week away so it was a very chilled day out. We stopped at a Wspoons near home and had some sharing plates to finish the holiday week off 😁😁
    Not much planned for today - other than r&r
    May spends so far £30. I’m going to total everything for April later. But there will be a little trip to the garden centre later this week so there will definitely be an increase 😏

    It was lovely SSG. I am making the most of every day……😁 trying to send time with family doing nice things as MSE as possible 😁 My past illness and the unexpected events in a very close friends life has made me realise you’ve got to make the most of life NOW and do what you can when you can 😁- nobody knows what tomorrow might bring. Wow that is very profound for a Tuesday afternoon 😂😂😂😂
