*"tracks" in this case being the River Tyne.

You'd be 5-6 miles from where I live, depending on which bridge you use.

Good luck with the rental application.

Now why did I know you were going to say that?

FWIW Longbenton was a close contender but I got used to those lovely rural views during all those trips across the A69 over the summer. Thanks for the good wishes, hopefully we get good news soon.

Now DW is planning on Southampton to Norway next year.

Curleytops that is great news. As you know, I love Northumberland and I hope you will be happy in your new location.

If you are due to leave for Bermuda over the w/e, I would check with the cruise line. There is a hurricane in the Atlantic.

Congratulations! Not quite the big one yet. Stopping over in Birmingham, Alabama to see DD for about a month first. Next stop England

I hope curlytops will be happy in her proposed new location, but it's not in Northumberland.

Northumberland by a cat's whisker but with our luck, I'm afraid to say more for fear I'll jinx the whole thing.

We boarded the ship at the New York, Manhattan Cruise Terminal, and when they had finished loading the passengers the captain came on the PA and announced that we were not going to Bermuda because of the hurricane. He said they were checking for other ports that they could go to.
We ended up going to Port Canaveral in Florida and then to the Caribbean for a few hours. What a rip off!
The cruise ship people gave a warning to the passengers to not go far from the ship because there had been a spike in crime against tourists in recent times. This was the port of Nassau. I'm sure that was British until they became independent a few years ago and I think it has gone down hill ever since.
We did a sightseeing tour of New York after we returned which I liked.

Rodney, I'm trying to contact my cousin in the Isle of Wight but they have a different number.
Any ideas?
Also how is the train/bus service from Gatwich to Southampton?

Cheers

PS Hope I didn't wake anyone up!
