It only seems like a couple of years ago, but when I work it out it was around 1987. I would have been 9 years old at the time. My parents had booked a coach trip with the Evening Chronicle to travel down to London and see The Phantom of the Opera. What seemed like…

The Best Non-Cruise on the Tyne

Visit to ZSL London Zoo
As we only visit London once a year or so we like to try new places each time. ZSL London Zoo is always somewhere I’ve fancied going so we made a plan to head there on Easter Sunday. I really didn’t have a clue what to expect or how large it was. Arriving around 12…
