An image from our trip into Berwick
On the left edge of the image is a chip shop with a great little cafe. Its not your normal 'trendy' cafe. Its like a 70s / 80s style cafe with dayglo card signs on the walls etc. I loved it there.

Our hols continued
We've been having a great time so far. G has been to the kids club, also living it up on the dance floor each night.
We have been to the swimming pool each day. It's been lovely. G loves being in the pool and always complains when it's time to get out.
Yesterday we went into Berwick. A town on the border of England and Scotland. I haven't been for years. I got so scotch meat pies from a highly recommended butcher. Can't wait to try them. I may get some haggis to go home with.
While in Berwick, we all went to this cafe we found down a side street. For anyone in uk, you may be able to picture this. It's the type of cafe you would find in most towns in the 70s and 80s. No frills type of place. Price lists on the Walls we on dayglo card. It's like we had stepped back in time. A greasy spoon type place. The food was lovely. I much prefer these type of cafe's rather than the trendy over priced modern bistros etc.
This is the exterior.
This is the interior.
And finally a couple of shots of Berwick main street.

First day at Haggerston Castle
Arrived at Haggerston Castle caravan park to blazing sunshine. It was nice to relax after the stress of packing and getting sorted. The caravan we have rented is amazing. It's like a house inside. A good size living room, a nice kitchen, a bedroom with 2 beds for G and a doble bedroom for myself and D with an en-suite. Even before unpacking we had a cup of tea on the decking and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
At night we went to the show bar and watched a live band who sung loads of 80s song so I loved that. I was singing my head off. The reps did a little show called party in the dark. Basically the lights were turned down and all the kids danced with their light up toys and glowsticks that they had bought while the reps danced on stage dressed head to foot in glowed items like flashing wigs, flashing glasses and necklaces etc. It looked really good seeing all the lights moving around. The cynical side of me couldn't help but think that it was a good scam to get the kids to buy these toys to join in the dance.
All in all, a good first day was had by all at Haggerston. Georgia slept like a log. D and I didn't have the best night sleep due to the type of mattress on the bed. But still, nice to be here.
This is the view from our decking. Georgia was feeding ducks this morning.
