As a thank-you for her
ministrations during my recent incapacity I whisked my wife up to
Northumberland for an overnight jaunt with today’s trip falling into three
distinct phases: first a stop for a coffee break in a very windy Amble where a
new harbour-side development of beach-hut type retail units proved irresistible,
soon relieving us of the best part of £50; second stop was Barter Books in
Alnwick where my pre-prepared wish list provided a useful framework for
reference as I perused the numerous shelves and picked off six good books (the
cost easily swallowed by my credit balance); and finally to Rothbury and the Coquetvale
Hotel where a glass of Champagne and a bottle of wine accompanied fine meals
selected from the ‘Britalian’ menu.
