26 – 30 June 2023 Berwick

Met up with friends what a lovely surprise them coming all this way to see us.

Lots of cycling coffee and of course cake yum yum.

It has been very interesting this trip as you can see from below a fab trip.

1.  Our friend was bitten by a sausage dog outside Northern Coffee
2. While visiting The Works shop a woman was changing her baby’s nappy on the floor next to the till.
3. Costcutter shop? Coop toasting loaf 95 p (in normal coop) £1.45 in a shop named Costcutter ?
4. A woman told off by Maureen for taking her dog into the toilets’ with her for a ??? and replying to Maureen what am I supposed to do with it? and saying GOSH their are some funny people on this site WTF####
5. While standing on Marygate we could see 8 empty shops from one position.

Other than these few problems we are still enjoying  here.
