I always enjoy a visit back home to see my parents, the house is the one they moved into when i was 4 and they have been here ever since, we always say it is too big for them but there answer to that is "if we move and you come to visit you will not be coming "HOME" but to a strange house.
Mum and dad have left here on the Boudicca, the Fred Olsen Cruise ship, for their cruises, one to the Norwegian Fjords and the other was a cruise around the United Kingdom clockwise.
Today we went for a drive to boundary mill, a huge discount store selling everything, from there it was a trip to Royal Quays, another discount shopping area, then for freshly caught fish with chips, mushy peas and bread and butter, delicious!!!
The scenery and coastline around this area is amazing, crisp white sand, beautiful water and secret coves and bays which i used to come to from when i was a baby, to revisit was great and to have the stories told to me as i drove made it all more real and lovely to look back and smile.
This is North Shields, a lovely aspect, the daily DFDS leaves through here heading out to the north sea and Amsterdam,

When i do visit i wonder if i really want to be here when my parents are no longer with us, could i live with all these memories all around me day in day out, will there be anything here for me, even my lovely boxer dog Megan had been to North Shields and i pictured her walking along the sea front with mum and dad when i was on some god forsaken trip somewhere. Life is short, we should cherish those we love and give them all our time and attention as we can no longer do this once they have been taken from us.
My brother went on his holidays today to Las Vegas with a "mystery" person who none of us have met yet, i am sure he is happy as never seen him looking so happy in a long time, Vegas is a place after 25 years of flying that i have not even been myself, flying longhaul as a passenger is not something that appeals to me, i have seen the world as crew and loved being able to eat, drink, and do what i wanted when i wanted without being hemmed into a seat that was made for a hobbit!!!
Not sure what my next blog will be about but hope you are all enjoying this, even the ones i would kick off if i could!!
