The sun was already setting as we flew across the capital. From the air the Thames looked like it had been coloured with a blunt pencil, the city grey and cold. We landed on time. I had four and a half hours to wait for the flight to Newcastle.
Fortunately, my next job entails a slightly shorter journey time.

ReplyDeleteI've never been there before, it's close to a lot of other places I've never been before, and I like women with high cheekbones.

Good luck! Curiosity will have me follow the blog more closely this term.
It's a charming northern city with some of the most friendly, hospitable people you could meet, an incredibly beautiful historic centre, cultural and artistic riches and the beer is cheep..
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember tho that it tends to get rather nippy in January and February..
