Couple of excellent restaurants are situated there as is a city farm.
Newcastle Hoppings are still held annually on the Town Moor though last year they had to be cancelled due to the terrible wet weather turning the site into a mud bath. When our children were younger we always took them for a day out at the Hoppings but it latterly did get a bit of a bad name due to drunken louts causing trouble but that has been cleared up recently.

Just shows how things change over time.

Wonder why some dates stick in ones mind.I have been guilty of forgetting family birthdays and our own wedding anniversary.
However. I have never forgotten the date when I first went to sea.
September 22 1955.
So today is an anniversary of some sort.
I cant count that far back.
It was the start of an adventure, never to surpassed.
Bet I am not alone in that regard.

When you take your tablets do you burst into song "When your hair has turned to silver" or do you keep that one special for Mary. Cheers your winter is on the way and our summer, which just means more weeds here, and the odd snake coming out of hibernation, if ever catch one for a pet am going to call it Mr. Blair.
