That's when we moved down here.<BR/><BR/>We had a holiday cottage at Alnick a couple of years ago.

I could have quite happily stayed in that neck of the woods. I have not been back to the city for a good while and imagine that there will have been a fair few changes. I have though holidayed recently on the glorious Northumberland coastline which still remains quiet and unspoilt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-5328457096510419132008-02-21T10:14:00.000+00:002008-02-21T10:14:00.000+00:00Deb - thanks for stopping by and extending the Bru...Deb - thanks for stopping by and extending the Brummie vocabulary! <BR/><BR/>Threadspider - I'd forgotten about it too, until I found the brummie dictionary link.

Just you wait until I tell you about Geordieland (Newcastle)... ;)<BR/><BR/>That's exactly the Blogger problem I've had over the past couple of days - I'm fed up of uploading pictures, getting nothing on there, but increasing the memory I've used up.
