One of my best friends growing up (Claire), now lives in Newcastle. We bought over night bus tickets for a Friday night and went up to visit the Geordie for the weekend.
We arrived before sunrise and Claire gave us a warm welcome with tea, biscuits and chocolates. Claire was the perfect tour guide, took us to the famous 'Newcastle' and showed us around town. We stopped to quench our thirst at a few of the million pubs around Newcastle (to Bud's horror, not a single one was showing the rugby). It was a great weekend and was so good to see my friend.
Thanks Claire for the fun weekend and thanks for keeping us fat and sassy by feeding us tons of chocolates and sweets (mmmm).
