With today designated, within the half term week, as day out but heavy rain forecast for the afternoon, we took a pragmatic decision to motor up to the Metro Centre retail complex at Gateshead, where five hours can be spent without even seeing daylight never mind any rain, to do a bit of pre-Christmas window shopping pencilling in presents and fleshing out wish lists; mission was accomplished with even a few items bought, and tea at Frankie & Bennie's took us past the worst of the rush hour and all of the rain, making for a better than usual drive home.
