A Family Night at Newcastle Eagles
It’s amazing what can happen in a year. I’ve gone from a hater of sports to a lover of Basketball. Watching such a fast-paced game is entertaining and can be exhilarating. Over 2017 I think we have been to see 5 home games of Newcastle Eagles and every time we’ve seen them win. We’re sort of like…

Dosa Kitchen, Jesmond – South Indian Canteen
Sometimes the inspiration from a night outcomes from know where sometimes it right under your nose. We visited Dosa Kitchen in Jesmond on their opening night. I’d been working on the signs for the kitchen and it was only upon the day of installation that I thought we should try it out. Dosa Kitchen Jesmond Dosa…

Hadrians Tipi, Newcastle 2017
Always looking for a new adventure we thought it would be fun to try out Hadrian’s Tipi, Newcastle on its opening weekend. Sure, if it’s just opened not many people will know about it! If we go around 5 pm on a Saturday night there’ll be loads of space and plenty of atmospheres! Or as it turned…

George’s Great British Kitchen – Newcastle upon Tyne
Not sure if Newcastle is typical of other UK cities but there seems to be a boom in new restaurants opening. Slowly, but surely, we are making our way around the new Grey’s Quarter in Eldon Square.

Cafe Fish – Scarborough
Last weekend I packed my bags and headed down to Scarborough for my annual girls weekend. No kids, no responsibilities, plenty of chat and prosecco is the recurring theme of the trip. Our base for the stay is my parents holiday home, Meadowside. The four bedroomed home is located in the village of Burniston, some 5…

Vujon Indian Restaurant, Newcastle
We were losing a long standing member of staff at Hooper Signs. After around 12 years manning womanning the phones, dealing with accounts and the day to day running of the business. My sister in law had decided to try a new job nearer to home. I could see elements of the reason she wanted to…
