Kilometres walked : Thursday – 4.5, Friday – 7.4

Friday 10th March, 2023.

After our travel day on the train 🚊 on Thursday from London to Newcastle we awoke to a beautiful winter wonderland yesterday. On the train journey up we were lucky enough to see quite a lot of snow on the outskirts of London and very heavy snowfall which was just so picturesque. It certainly makes a cold dreary day much more beautiful.

Arriving in Newcastle to even colder temperatures than London, light snow was falling as Uncle Ray & Aunty Marie met us at the train station. We we’re feeling very blessed.

Yesterday morning we awoke to the prettiest picture outside. Snow blanketed the gardens and surrounding streets as far as the eye could see. ❄️ Wow, we were like a pair of excited children running from different windows on different floors to try and capture the sight on our phones. After a much needed slow start we strolled around Jesmond in the snow ( and slippery ice on occasion) with huge smiles on our faces.

Catch ups with the cousins last night, lots of yummy comfort food and a nice bottle of red finished off the day perfectly. It’s so good to be back.🍷😊
