When I heard that the old St Mary’s Hospital which was known as The Gateshead Lunatic Asylum was being converted in to luxury housing and a beautiful gastro pub – St Mary’s Inn, I jumped at the chance to pop along for a visit.

Hello Lovelies,
Bit of a different one today as it is more of a preview than a review!
As we go to New York in a mere few hours, we have booked ourselves a fancy pants Sunday Mimosa Brunch ($59 pp) at The View restaurant.
Sitting at the top of the Marquis Hotel, The View is a 360 degree rotating restaurant offering breathtaking views of the city from 48 floors up. The only in the city!
As the restaurant takes 1 hour to rotate, they provide handy maps on the napkins so you always know what you are looking at. How cool is that?
Back in September I bought a Living Social deal for our favourite Thai restaurant in Durham. The Star of Siam is based in the Highfield Hotel which is about 10 minutes outside of the city centre, on the side of the A690. Set back from the dual carriage way on a slightly elevated plot, the view from the restaurant is great on a clear evening… not so much in a pitch dark November!
Hello Lovelies,
I thought I’d share with you a very exciting event happening in Durham City centre tomorrow evening.
I am incredibly proud of being a Durham girl so it is awesome that this kind of event has finally made it’s way south of the Tyne!

Last week was one of my oldest friends birthday so we took ourselves off to Miller & Carter to celebrate in style and the lovely Vicky from Describe the Sky also joined us.
Having previously been a bar venture by Ant & Dec, the Miller & Carter chain have landed in Newcastle in an imposing, grand building in a prime location on Moseley Street, between the ‘Diamond Strip’ and the restaurant run of Grey Street and Dean Street.
