Well we've had a not so brilliant Easter. Went up to the caravan on Friday - our new DG windows are fab!! But the weather was not - constant rain all the time and clearly much of Northumberland had had it for days already, everywhere was soggy and there were loads of floods on the roads....and the site. We cranked the heaters up and cleaned the van top to bottom.....watched the forecast which said more rain till Sunday and Tom said should we go home? It was truly miserable, I can't describe how crap it was, the rainwater was coming off the caravan roof like a waterfall and the grass all over the site was soaking wet with massive puddles all over the place. So at 7.30 we packed up and left it. It was lovely to get back to a warm house.
Anyway yesterday we woke to more rain so we set off to visit Jen via the MetroCentre and it looked like everyone else was doing the same! A1 was cram packed, so we diverted and ended up having a breakfast in Asda at the Galleries (Washington)! The spray on the mway was horrible, and people were driving far too fast for the conditions...
Today started off cloudy but dry (!!) we have had approx. 40 hours of continual rain ....so we decided to have a ride to the coast. It got nicer the longer we were out, so at least we have salvaged one dry/good day! Gorgeous to walk on the beach - the stones and pebbles from the high storm tides are in evidence, very different from before. Seaburn first and to our fave eatery, The Salt House Kitchen, and then back past Seaham where we stopped off again for a walk, at least I did 12000 steps
Happy Easter everyone xxxx
Kaz I hope H is ok xx
