Two hours from Gatwick is a little known piece of holiday heaven known as Whitley Bay Caravan Park. Six of us are staying in two Gold Caravans; well we would be if it weren’t for admin errors!! So we settled for a Silver and a Gold, and being the kind gentlemen that we are, the ladies have the Gold. Needless to say it rained all day and so our Silver was marooned in a sea of mud, most of which ended up on the carpet. Thank God for house-proud Baritones, (not me!). Roméo et Juliette went well last night in Newcastle’s beautiful Theatre Royal and we are all looking forward to A Midsummer Night’s Dream tomorrow.
An indoor pool, evening entertainment, a gut busting breakfast and the lure of the North Sea have made it a week to remember.
Today was a day-off so first thing we went to the Lighthouse Restaurant for breakfast and then it was off to the beach! The sun was shining and the legs were out! We found a beautiful spot on the beach and after flying the kite, it was time for a swim. Yes believe it or not we went swimming in the North Sea!!
We had lunch in the Rendezvous beach restaurant and then it was off for a round of pitch and putt. I lost! A long walk along the coast finished with fish and chips and I am now back in the caravan writing my blog hoping that someone will make me a cup of tea! Geoff Dolton and Nick Sharratt have been great caravan mates and we’re hoping that the sun will make an appearance again tomorrow so we can have fun with the kite again.
