We'll be staying near Warkworth, I think.
Or maybe Amble. They were the last two choices we came down to and I can't remember which one we went for. They are basically the same area though aren't they?

About 5 mins away I think
We stayed in Amble last year. It was nice

Fairly close together, about 2 miles apart.
Warkworth is the nicer of the two though. Very pretty, with the added bonus of having a fucking castle overlooking it.

The castle is fucking excellent!

That's where we are going then definitely. It definitely had a castle.

There was a nice Italian restaurant in Amble
and a fairly good Chinese takeaway too. I'll try and dig the names out

I did the grant for that restaurant.
It's called Zecca.

At the top of the main street?
Sounds right that. It was very nice

Think so, yeah.
It's in a disused bakery, the grant was for renovation costs.

Also if you get the chance to go up to Bamburgh, do.
It'll be about a half hour drive up the coast and worth it just for the castle.

Will do, thanks.
At the moment, more than almost anything, I am looking forward to going to Alnwick to vist Barter Books.

I was just going to suggest you go there.
It's fucking massive.

It was in the 'Twenty most beautiful bookshops in the world' list that was published recently
Although I have since found out that they are responsible for the popularity of 'Keep Calm And Carry On', which is a black mark, but it looks good enough for me to forgive them that.

Well, they are that
but only due to the finding of said poster in a stockroom, I believe.
