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 […]
Snow White & Seven Dwarfs Review – Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Another December weekend, another pantomime for the Hoopers. It’s a good job we love them so much. This time we had the treat of watching Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House on Westgate Road. Although we enjoyed last years offering from Newcastle Panto Company, we were excited to […]
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 […]
Annie the Musical – Tyne Theatre Review
When I was a kid, I remember wanting to go to see musicals and shows because I’d heard the music. My parents used to have a large LP collection of musicals and soundtracks. Quite often I’d be surprised with a trip out to the Theatre. The musicals I’d visited as a child have now been […]

Oli’s and Joe Gosforth
Oli’s and Joe on Gosforth High Street opened towards the end of 2016. Yet another restaurant in Gosforth we wanted to try out. The branding on the outside looks amazing. The design is eye-catching and we were hoping the interior would live up to our expectations! Gosforth High Street is quite a popular location for […]
Newcastle Castle : The Gateway to Old Newcastle
Hard to believe that for my 34 years on this planet I’ve never visited Newcastle Castle. Must have walked or passed it on the Metro, heading into town hundred of times. Located high above the Quayside sandwiched between the High Level Bridge and main Railway line going into Central Station. The Newcastle Castle is very hard to miss! […]
New New Bengal – Gosforth High Street
The New New Bengal Indian Restaurant in Gosforth is the refurbished result from the New Bengal Restaurant.

During the late summer of 2014, the business was set on fire […]

Geocaching for Beginners
We’ve been asked for a Geocaching for Beginners guide. As there are so many elements to the hobby (not sure if I can call it a sport) we decided to break it up into the absolute basics. Then may add a follow-up guide in the future. Geocaching is a game of hide and seek that […]
Cal’s Own, Jesmond
In a previous incarnation, we’d been to Cal’s Own, but so far we’d not tried Cal’s Own, Jesmond. When in Heaton it was simply a great pizza place. Simple pizzas and a bring your own booze setup. I remember this for three reasons. Firstly it was Abigail’s Birthday and we had two giant pizzas, served to […]
Life Science Centre
On a cold Sunday morning we took a visit to the Life Science Centre in Newcastle city centre. Arriving for the opening time of 11am we joined a short queue and handed over the £25 entrance fee. Maps, timetables and tickets in hand we were all set to get our inner science geek on! It had been over […]
