Six word Saturday

Where will I be next year?

It’s been a hectic week and I have so much to share, but I’m running out of time.  Next weekend our move to the Algarve begins.  Newcastle is just one of many places I’ll miss.  I visited the city for the Heritage Open Day event and the star of the show was undoubtedly Trinity House.  Photos inside were not permitted for security reasons, but you can, and should, book a tour. Former law courts, the Guildhall, were impressive too.

Inside the Guildhall, former law courts
With fine wood panelled walls
Creatures screaming at you in the dock
And elaborately reproduced ceiling
The iconic bridge
And the Sage theatre, seen through ‘The Eye’

But who’d have thought that after all these years I’d find an area of Newcastle I really didn’t know?  I followed the Tyne out to Ouseburn, whose arty vibe and grungy, graffiti covered streets were a revelation.  Even on such a grey day, my spirits were lifted.

This may be my last ever Six Word Saturday and I’m very grateful to Debbie for indulging and entertaining me so beautifully over the years.  One thing’s for sure.  I’ll not stop exploring and following my nose.  I just can’t help myself.  🙂

Wishing you all a happy Saturday!

  1. Dear Jo, I hope the Algarve is good for you, sweet and adventurous, and most of all welcoming. And we’ll be waiting for you until a fresh notebook finds its way to you. Hugs, wishing you lots of energy for the move, seas of tea and plenty of flowers. Find happiness, wondrous sceneries and much love. Dutchie hugs and a summer smile.

    1. Thanks a lot, Margaret 🙂 🙂 Life’s a little manic right now, and the laptop is giving me a hard time, but I do hope to have a Monday walk up. After that, we’ll see how time goes.

      1. Fabulous 🙂 I am waiting for a good season to take a walk on my place to share with you. Perhaps I’ll pop in and say g’day if we get to Portugal next year as I hope x

    1. Thanks, darlin 🙂 🙂 I did reply to your comment on Deb’s, but on my phone and I’m not sure if it went through. We will have Internet in the Algarve, Sue, but my laptop isn’t happy at the minute (must be a home bird 🙂 ). I will keep an eye on ‘you lot’, by phone if necessary, but after next Monday’s walk- which I’m hopeful I can deliver 🙂 – I don’t know how it will go.

    2. I’ll not do that without a formal announcement and written permission, Carol. 🙂 🙂 Seriously, I’m having laptop issues. There should be a Monday walk, but at the moment there’s lots more to think about. Thanks, hon! I’ll stay in touch.

      1. I’m pleased to hear you’re not leaving us Jo. You might have an online riot on your hands if you did. 🙂 We know you’re busy so just do what you have to and we’ll hear from you when things settle again. Hoping all goes well for you this week.
