A Grand Day Out

Our gorgeous granddaughter Eve, getting around Beamish Museum in the best possible transport!

Typical British weather, Friday it was 30deg and gorgeous and Saturday it was 9deg wet and dull!  Still,  we basked in the glorious sunshine and started a bit of a tan.  The museum had a Georgian Fair going on and the 'squire' of the manor house was opening it just as we arrived, lo and behold, who should we find as the 'squire' but my old boss.  Enjoy the pics and the beauty of the North East.

These show the school and church in the pit village, workers in costume going to the fair and part of a street which houses the dentist and a piano teacher's home.

Here is my old boss thoroughly enjoying his role as 'Squire'.  We were just at the right spot to get our ride on the horse and carriage and when we reached the town, had to visit the sweet shop where they make the sweets while you watch, then they offer you samples!  A favourite place to be.

Hope you have enjoyed a mini peek at one of our favourite places in the gorgeous North East
