Tanfield Railway 1940s weekend

Tanfield Railway 1940s weekend Sept 19 (2)

Over the weekend, the Tanfield Steam Railway, in my ward and only 15 minutes walk from my house, held a 1940s weekend. I paid them a visit on Sunday. A great afternoon and I thoroughly enjoyed the talk given about food rationing and "make do and mend" (useful lessons as we move towards crashing out of the EU!)

Neptune Restaurant Seahouses Sept 19 (4)

Seahouses on the Northumberland coast is famous for it its fish and chip shops. We had plenty of choice as to where to have lunch when we visited on 3rd September 2019. We opted for Neptune Restaurant. A good choice! Great food, freshly cooked, not overdone and not covered in oil or fat. Definitely worth a visit.

On Wednesday, wearing my Sunniside History Society chairman's hat, I went to Bamburgh Castle and Seahouses on our annual outing. 21 of us took the trip. A good time had by all. Photos from the trip are above.

The Hobson

The Hobson Co Durham Mar 19 (2)

We had a very pleasant lunch at The Hobson, on the A692 near Burnopfield, Co Durham, on Friday. Two points of particular interest: firstly the staff were very friendly and chatty; secondly the portion sizes were much bigger than we expected. Food was good quality and competitively priced. I'n not a veggie but there was a good selection of veggie meals.

Definitely worth a visit.
