Over the past few days I've had the delight of having my
sister visit. As well as both doing bits of work (finishing a uni project for
Alicia and business bits for me) we have managed to squeeze in some adventures!
A definite welcome break after the last two hectic weeks.
Alicia arrived in Newcastle Central station early Monday
morning so of course we had to go for brunch! After wandering around looking
for a place that sold pancakes (we are still looking), we settled for a window
seat at the Tyneside Cinema café.
We couldn’t shelter from the rain forever and so ventured
out to the shops where Alicia proceeded to purchase 4 pairs of sunglasses (she
has a shades obsession rather than handbags). I picked a pair up myself and we
headed to Lit and Phil library near Central Station. I must go back when my
hands aren’t full of luggage and shopping!
We spent what was rest of the day doing bits of work and
enjoying a bits and bobs dinner.
Tuesday was a perfect day to spend exploring as the sun
decided to show itself. We took a trip to Cullercoats bike and kayak hire to
hire out cruisers (something that’s been on my to-do list for a good while).
The service at the store was excellent and we enjoyed our cycle along Tynemouth’s
coast-line. Next time I'll convince Alicia to try the tandem bike. And I must bring up my own bike from Essex so I can do more cycling!
We took a stop at Dill and the Bear along Tynemouth high
street where we enjoyed iced frappes and a slice of banana and walnut bread –
heavenly! Then it was back to mine to finish off some work.
In the evening, once Richard was back from work we went back
to Tynemouth to enjoy dinner at Lola Jeans. Alicia and Richard had burgers while I enjoyed my favourite salmon super food salad. We then took a long walk along King
Edwards bay and Longsands beach enjoying the beautiful sunset and smooth sea
until we made it to the Surf Café to enjoy the live acoustic music.
Two brilliant days spent with the younger sister and
enjoying what the local area has to offer! Hopefully it won’t be too long until
I get to see Alicia again!
