    Tynemouth

    Posted by skipperoo 3 December 2006

    For something a bit different on a weekend & only 20 minutes from the city.

    Hop on the Metro & explore the weekly market housed in the Victorian railway station, lots of books, crafty stuff, and bric-a-brac to wade through, with a farmer's market once a month. Then potter through the town centre, check out the priory ruins, stroll on the sandy beach, watch the surfers, and then hop on the Metro at Cullercoats or Whitley Bay back to town.

    Blakes Coffee House

    Posted by skipperoo 26 November 2006

    Centrally located on the stylish Grey Street. This equally stylish coffee house offers great coffee, snacks and lunch menu; its desserts are simply fabulous! Offers a great chilled ambience and plays jazz to its varied and hip clientele. A regular favourite so can get busy - does offer street seating in the summer. Just a great place to soak up city vibe and eat tasty food. Mid-range prices, good veggie options available.
