Maddie, Neptune in Durham Market Place. There may be one at Newcastle but I can't say I've ever noticed.

Oooh don't ask which graveyard it was Joy. I cant remember. The church was built up on a slight hill, with the graves around it. It was horribly overgrown. We noticed there was more than a few 'inhabitants' called Cinderella!

We did go to the Quay, down some very rickety stairs, lots of cafes and tables and chairs. Took lots of photos, there is a statue of Neptune, on the riverside? Yes we did cross the river. I was still cold!!! :-D :-D :-D

That's the one Maddie. Thirty years ago I used to go to classes in the old Dance City. The new one is rather swish.

Which graveyard?

It can be beautiful on a sunny day. Had the quayside been revamped when you visited? Did you walk over the blinking eye to the Sage and Baltic? All worth visiting.

Oh fab, you must have enjoyed that. How strange, I went past there this morning, on my way to the Local History Centre.

Fret not Fly, we are here. :-D :-D

I looked up Dance City. Newcastle? From the website I thought it may be near Greys Monument, but it isn't. ;-) ;-)

We visited the NE a few years ago. I have never been so cold in my life! We spent one afternoon going around the graveyard, all the paths were slippery. I was not best pleased. :-( :-(

Leather jazz shoes, Maddie.

As far as the roof is concerned, surprisingly, no, I can't do it, I'd likely fall through! :-D

It's fifty years old so due to be done. :-D

Not yet, Maddie. I shall buy the same but perhaps in black this time. Our local dance shop closed a few years ago so I shall pop through to Dance City when I next meet up with cousins.

We have started getting quotes for a new roof - I had to be picked up from the floor. :-0 :-0 :-0
