Bit out of our stomping ground but as Paul’s Dad lives in Tynemouth, we made the trip North for a good old fashioned Sunday Roast at Barca.
Barca Art Bar & Restaurant is slap bang amongst the action in the middle of Front Street with a cosy, quirky bar downstairs and a more spacious and even quirkier dining room upstairs. With an obvious nod to the Art part of the name, the walls are lined with pieces from local artists both for display and sale.
An interruption to usual service today. No Food Friday.
I wanted to sit down and take 5 minutes to thank you. To truly thank you for reading my ramblings, supporting me and my website and just helping me have a voice.
Last night, I was once again listed as one of the most influential tweeters in the North East as part of the Journal Newspapers #NETwitterati poll.
It means a lot to me but comes at a very bittersweet time. Last year I was lucky enough to show my Grandma the supplement in which I was listed, just a couple of days before she passed away. We are at the 1yr anniversary but it’s a nice way to get through this. Don’t you think?
Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and everyone one of you who read and who voted.

Way back in the summer, we went to Kielder for the midnight stargazing session. Trying to find somewhere remotely close to the Observatory to eat was harder than we thought. Then we found the The Anglers Arms.
A couple of weeks ago, the kind folks at Brewer Fayre invited us along to check out their newly revamped Dunelm Ridge restaurant.
Thanks to the kids soft play area, it is somewhere very local that I have visited regularly with my friend and her children. Paul and I were keen to see what changes have been made as it is a mere 5 minutes across the fields from home to here.
Just off the main road in to Durham (A167) and next to the Arnison Centre retail park, it is a great place to stop for a post shopping pint or pub lunch. The added beer garden is a great bonus, even at this time of the year!
