Just a sheet for me, also in the birthday suit. It was unpleasant heat last night. Hopefully going to be better for the rest of the week.

Had a nice morning up in Alnwick, Northumberland today. Went for a nosey around Barter Books, a regular haunt of mine. It's a fantastic second hand book shop, one of the largest in Europe. Had a nice pot of Earl Grey Tea before having a wander round. The shop operates a barter system where you bring in books you no longer want and they value them, and put put the funds onto an account which you can draw down when you make purchases. It's a great idea and very popular. The shop is inside of the old Victorian Alnwick railway station with the cafe in the first class lounge. This image shows about a quarter of whats there:-



There is a model railway above your head running round and round the shop. If you're a bookworm it is heaven! Lots of original first editions as well as cheap used books.

I got an old copy of "The Flag Captain" by Alexander Kent and Battle Royal by Koushun Takami. I was a fan of the Battle Royale film but I had no idea it was based on a novel so interested to read it.

On the way back I called into Eshott Airfield. I hadn't been in before but it's a lovely little place with a nice cafe. It felt more like a rural golf club than the hustle and bustle of Newcastle International Airport where i was learning to fly! I watched a Cesna take off then headed back home for lunch. Going to Eshott has got me wanting to take up learning to fly again. It's been 30 years since I last took the controls!

A fun packed morning really.

You should do it!

The last examples of the type I flew are set to be retired at the end of this year, after 60 years in service.  So if I ever wanted to fly again, I'd have to learn a new type.

Well I flew a Piper Warrior ii from the mid 1970's. They're still flying so I should be ok. They must be able to do insane hours! Never flown in a cesna before.

Gosh you must be much older than you look.  Good for you!
I hope that came out as a compliment, as intended,

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

The plane was from the 70s, not Sarah.

No way is she older than I am, and I was in high school and joined the Army in the 70s.

Quite! I was born in 1976, pretty sure I wasn't flying planes then!!

Oh.  You do look nice for sure.  I read that wrong way but I see why I did by the way the message by itself was written, that you flew it from the 70s.  You did not fly in the 70s, the plane was from the 70s.  Well it was intended as a compliment.

I know Chrissy and it was very much appreciated. I am flattered you think I look younger.:)

Surely you have loads in your area too Charlotte you're near Birmingham? It's very densely populated down that way compared to where I am There must be loads of places to go. Why not show us some interesting places near you. Could give you something to do when you're bored like it has me.

There's bound to be a rich history if you dig around.

*pokes muzzle in*

Just wanted to give you a massive hug, Sarah. I will catch up when I can. Every time I come here, people have pages of stuff to catch up on haha.

I am with you on school holidays. When you see the packs of feral kids roaming the streets... but I mean, that's probably better for them than stuck inside glued to their phones. We were little terrors when we were kids. But then the 80s were different, haha.

Yeah, to be fair.. I think Lori kidnapped Peter Pan and created some kind of essence syphoning technology. She looks younger than I do. Mind you, Dick Van Dyke looks younger than I do. But the point still stands!
