much much better....so it raining ... can deal with that more easily than years of grimr snd disorder ... here at the Metropolitan B&B in Whitley Bay there is a mattress cover before the sheet....did not ask how often that is changed but at least its not bare foam. The texture of the matress at the Waterside was like that of the sponge you use to wash dishes....disgusting. Any way ....over and done... have been invited to dinner at 18.00 by the woman of whom I asked directions. The B&B is across the street from a church....saw it on Google satelitte map... who knew the church burned down last May
The hair was gross?
Are the clotheslines communal in a lane way?
Food sounds very yummy
Beautiful alabaster. Wow.

went to the the British Library. When they created this space it took the four years to move the books fromthe old library that used to be at the british museum.
Have done laundry and packed ... ate the food out of the fridge shelf that was mine and am now in bed. Went on a back stage tour of the National Theatre ... that's the place from which I watch productions live on the screen in Sudbury ... it was exciting to be in the actual edifice! and the tour was good. Thank you for your good wishes... THink of you and Nick Always!!!OXOXOX to both of you.
Dear Barbara, I'm happy to hear that you arrived safe and sound. From the two pictures of Wilson House, it seems an excellent choice. I was alarmed this morning when I read about the explosion on the Parsons lines. Hopefully, you were no where near the place. Thankfully no one died. Let's hope they catch whomever is responsible soon. I know that as an experienced traveller, you have your wits about you at all times. I look forward to your next blog. Stay safe. Besos y abrazos, Barb E.
Bon Voyage! Hi Barbara,

I have scrapped facebook BUT discovered 'messenger' .. yes i know everybody uses it but for me it is like a new toy ... ;-)
Greetings from "The Rock" Torrential rain outside is a good day to catch up with old friends. Nice to see you still have the travel bug. I myself have been working hard at the B&B saving for a trip in the Fall. Looks like Florida is off the table, 18 of us had planned to go but now it may be Hawaii with my daughter. Did you take up the rug hooking in NL? I can't remember. I still haven't managed to a blog on my web page but it is on my bucket list for this year!! Take care and keep travelling. Lots of love, Sharlene
Good thing ...nice to hear from you ... Glad you are not in go Florida! Hope you had an uneventful summer i.e. no ferry cancellations. Keep in touch and have a great vacation. ;-)
Why do I have to put a title for this... well, this is about Barbara. (I can't believe I am hosting such an amazing person in my place.) She is absolutely great, I enjoy her stories and adventures, her food, her friendship, and her unique personality. Thank you Barbara for give us a positive way to see life.
A year later I thank you for your kind words. Am getting ready...one last visit to summer place ... Have begun packing... Almost ready to go. Thinking of you often but have been at the lake without WiFi. Keep n touch OXOX
