We’ve seen photos of the Angel of the North in Gateshead but the photos
are very deceptive. It is really quite
beautiful when you get up close to it.
We knew it was big but didn’t really grasp the size until we were there.
We decided to go to the coast in the hopes that it might be a bit
cooler and ended up in South Shields.
Lovely beaches. On one beach we
saw a structure that reminded us of the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick.
We noticed some aircraft flying around and realized that there was an
airshow going on in the town just south of where we were. We ended up going through Sunderland and wow,
there were literally thousands upon thousands of people there. We were praying that the show was nowhere
near the end or we would be stuck in traffic for hours and thankfully it had
really just started.
We went on to Gateshead and went to the Quay. What a great spot!

Landed at Dot & Tommy’s and had a wonderful dinner out in the
garden. Tomorrow Dot has invited other
cousins by for a visit so we’ll hopefully be seeing everyone that is in this
area.
Sending love R/P
