The Last Ship Review | Sting’s Musical at Northern Stage
Before we begin to start The Last Ship review, I’ll admit I really didn’t think I was much of stage musical fan. Or a big Sting fan for that matter. But somehow I ended up laughing and blubbing my way through The Last Ship Musical, at the Northern Stage on Friday night. Something about the poignant […]
The Escape Key | Escape Room Newcastle | Armageddon
Since we started blogging two years ago, we’ve met so many great people and made some great friends. This week I was invited along to The Escape Key in Newcastle by Katie (Katie Jane Online). We were also joined by Chloe (New Girl on Toon) and her husband Simon. Our team of four were ready […]
Scalini’s Gosforth Review
The last time we visited Scalini’s, Gosforth we had an… entertaining experience! As a result, it’s taken us nearly 2 years to return to give it another go. It’s a shame as it is literally 10 minutes walk from our house. I’ll explain our previous visit after our review Scalini’s Gosforth Review As part of […]
The Geordie Rat Pack Christmas Show – Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Just before Christmas, I headed down to the Tyne Theatre to see The Geordie Rat Pack, Christmas Show. This is the third Geordie Rat Pack show I’ve been to but the first at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House. The show has become a bit of a tradition with some local Mam friends. The previous […]
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 […]
Enchanted Parks 2017-Saltwell Park Gateshead
For the second December running, we braved the cold to head out to Saltwell Park for their Enchanted park Inventor’s Ball. It really was a freezing night and we will all look like the Michelin men the number of layers we had on. We booked a 7.30pm slot on the Friday evening, as I knew Alan wouldn’t […]
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 […]
Patisserie Valerie, Durham
Last week my mind started to wander and I discussed the options for selecting delicious cakes as a treat. A quick google brought up Patisserie Valerie and I lost 5 minutes of my working day. Just to clarify the cake discussion was work banter. Would you eat a custard slice in public? Patisserie Valerie, Durham It […]
Robinson Crusoe at The Gala Theatre, Durham
After a lovely wander around Durhams’ shops and cobbled streets on a crisp cold afternoon, we headed to the Gala Theatre for the Press Night of their “Swashbuckling Family Panto” Robinson Crusoe. The girls asked us to tell them the story of Robinson Crusoe and showing our literary lack of knowledge we weren’t 100% certain. […]
Disney Themed Sunderland Illuminations 2017
As a young Little Alan, I recall visiting Sunderland Illuminations on the way home from visiting my Auntie in Seaham. My dad would drive along the sea front and we’d gaze out at the strings of bulbs hanging across the roads. Something similar to Blackpool’s Illuminations but in a smaller scale. Turns out that Sunderland […]
Kaltur High Bridge | Newcastle’s best Tapas!
Kaltur is a new Tapas bar on High Bridge Street, Newcastle. I first got to know about them when I was asked to do the signage work with my day job. Enrique said to me while I was working “We’re going to offer the best authentic tapas in Newcastle”. Now I am a very cynical […]
Morgan and West – Parlour Tricks – Tyne Theatre and Opera House
Morgan and West are Magicians, Time Travellers and all round spiffing Chaps! With an introduction like that you can be assured that there presentation of Parlour Tricks will set them out as a different kind of magic act. I’ve mentioned before that I love magic. Possibly something that I don’t disclose that often is that […]
