Well, there was definitely going to be an interesting day ahead of us. After a lazy start to the day and breakfast of bacon muffins we pottered about and I got the car ready for a drive over the A69 via 2 pick-ups in Wallsend. Meaning I topped up washer fluids, chucked boots, shovel & blanket in the boot just in case the forecast snow hit when we were out.
Our morning was already mapped out with picking my Mam up from Wallsend then driving back on ourselves to pick her friend (Viv) up from the other end of Wallsend and driving them to the Gilsland Spa Hotel. Nothing planned, they just fancied going over there for the night so they could dance in the evening and meet other old people to talk about nothing in particular. Needless to say there was never a silent moment on the drive over as they talked non stop and we lost count of how many times they said 'Yes'.
Having dropped them off it was time to drive halfway home to call in on Marion & Mike for a late lunch of homemade pizza and lemon cheesecake and an afternoon of chit chat. We even managed to show them a suitably reduced number of our photos from Vietnam just to give them a flavour of what it was like.
Fed, watered and all chatted out we headed back to Silverlink to see The Hobbit. Luckily our coughing was not as bad as it could have been so we don't think we spoiled the movie too much for everyone else at the screening. A fantastic movie with some great CGI scenes underground with the goblins. Can't wait to see how the story moves along with the next movie.
