Our Day Out


We had a lovely day out on Monday didn't we Fred? Yes we did.

Shall I tell you about it. Oh all right then. I don't want to bang on too long but here goes.

Susie the Floozie, Richard, Fred and I all went on a lovely Bank Holiday Monday day out to Newcastle stopping off at KFC and then Tyrella Beach on the way.

The beach turned out to be £2.50 which was a shock to us as we believed this area of "outstanding natural beauty" in the world to be something which was one of God's creations for us all to enjoy. Still I suppose, there is a cost for it to be cleaned and maintained. But wait. Is that not what I pay tax and rates through the nose for?? Apart from anything else, beautiful as it was, it was not a patch on some of the gorgeous coves and bays we saw in Northern Majorca and we were charged nothing to go there... Something for the NI tourist board to think about...

This uncomfortable seated-back-pocket-change-hoaking incident aside, we had a lovely day paddling around, swimming in the sea, building sand castles, flying our kite and running remote control cars up and down the beach.

Here is a picture of us having fun - look at us - look at how happy we are!!



After the beach we then went to Newcastle and had a go on the "fruit" machines. I won £5!! That said I did simultaneously lose £10. However I left the premises, a happy man.

Once we had finished with our dangerous gambling we went to Maud's for an ice-cream. I bought every one a "Saucy Chocolate Tub" except Richard who favoured a "Mr Whippy". Mauds don't sell those.

After this he we went home and watched "The Chorus" which was really good I thought damn the critics. We ate cheese and biscuits which Fred fetched from Sainsburys during the film as he hates things about singing.

All in all it was a grand day out. Reading it back it sounds a bit common. And in ways it probably was.

Did you go out on Bank Holiday Monday?? If so where and for God's sake why? Feel free to tell us immediately.
