Good evening dear readers of Wear and Dao, today we visited Beamish Museum in County Durham, northeast England offering reminiscences of the old times in the pit villages, the authentic costumes, transport, photos, shops etcetera. ...
The fairground was amazing in its authenticity, not least the merry go round which your blogger was helped onto to enjoy the ride remininisent of the 1960s when your old blogger was riding such fayre ground fun ...
Being Friday school trips gathered in coaches to learn lessons from history, including rolling down grassy slopes, making daisy chains and spending their pocket money on sweets and souvenirs etcetera. ..
The food, as usual was wonderful with soup plus home baked bread for starters, panhagerty and veg with delicious ice cream for dessert.
Such is life for retired folks with time to visit such places. Tomorrow it's Jarrow, South Shields by the sea, and maybe fish and chips with more ice cream from Minchellas ... The fair weather continues as Spring becomes Summer again.
See you here tomorrow dear readers ..
