So far we've done lots of walking through Newcastle. Saw the Millenium Bridge move, which they do every day at noon. Had a drive through the country to Alnwick in Northumbria for the food festival. Sampled enough for an army and picked up some Spanish cheese, local artisan beer, Italian olives, pastas, Ginger Wine, savory pork and meat pies. Had a walk around the castle gardens, including a poison plant section and a tree house with rope bridges which will make you seasick if a boy is behind you...
