Have been to busy to blog for a few days but on Thursday had a great afternoon in Haltwhistle, culminating in tea at Tynedale Grange - which is always a gastronomic event, as Ida can really bake. Much discussion as to the demise of Greenholme and the fate of their new hospital - which I am assured will go ahead.
Then off to Gateshead for the Late Night Politics Show with Gerry Foley. Talk was dominated by the A1, which we have put into the national network
Sadly my taxi sent by ITV failed to arrive and had to drive - ran out of petrol on the way back
