Newbiggin by the Steam
This afternoon, Toni forced us all to go for a walk - and you know, we're quite glad she did because it was good to get out and have a walk along the shore with the kids and Kieran. When we got down to the beach the combination of recent rain and sudden warm sunshine made the whole beach into a steamy misty expanse that looked very strange and eerie.
The tide was out so we went and had a look in the rock pools. Not much to see in the way of wildlife, but nice to have an explore anyway. On our way back we bumped in to Derek and Margaret, Toni's mum and dad, and they walked back along with us. We're lucky to live somewhere like this - and I can't wait for this summer because more people will find out how nice Newbiggin is. There's a good season of activities ahead this year - and we should soon have our own range of branded merchandise and a village guide too.
Make sure they close the beach this summer if sharks are reported... not like that stupid mayor in 'Jaws' eh?!

I predict that Newbig. will buck the national trend and have a house price rise once enough people from outside the area take a shine to the place. Now thats a bit of a double-edged sword and you might regret promoting the place once novocastrians start twigging that its nothing to do with Newbiggin Hall and move in for the lovely Victorian and edwardian properties. You may feel its not yours anymore or perhaps its only me that thinks Newbiggin belongs to Jason and Co.
