Today was glorious dear readers of Wear and Dao, as the kind caring friend and your ancient blogger set off early on the Bank Holiday with 2 grandchildren aboard. Dan aged 9 and Harvey 8 ,to visit the local outdoor museum of Beamish.
Of course at 63 and 71 we two were living history to them! We rode the trams and buses, checked out the places of historical interest and generally had fun in the Sun before the Bank Holiday queues built up.
Apart from the old fashioned fun fair the ice cream and the sweet shop the most amusing thing for the boys was attempting to help your old blogger disembark from the wheelchair,luckily the cobbled streets of the old pit village and the 1930-s main street proved too much for them.
As usual there were many offers of help to push your old blogger up the steeper parts of the museum, a sign perhaps that kindness still lives on in today's world.
Naturally there were gift shops for pocket money which was spent along the way plus the main gift shop at the entry and exit, keeping Beamish going ...
Having arrived early we left early too, before the Bank Holiday queues went crazy! Back home tired and happy, Dan and Harvey were delighted to see their Mam and tell her their adventures. As for their father, well, being self-employed means a weekend is a luxury and Bank Holidays virtually unknown.
Tomorrow's another day free to do what we like, but you'll have to wait to hear that story dear readers of Wear and Dao!
