It will be no more or less than a glorified photo album of my travels near and far!

Baltic heat!

 Today, I went with the family to Newcastle on a very warm late August day.

Here are a few pics from the visit...

Newcastle Mela, a makebelieve blue Indian Elephant greets the small crowd!

2 Japanese acrobats, VERY Japanese and enthusiastic!
Lunch, well, at least, starters!
So, off to the Baltic, Janet and Megan watch the Tyne...
...and are joined by Mark, they are watching a zipwire run from the Tyne bridge to the Quayside.

It was a long day, and a hot one!
