It is official!

Today warm sunshine greeted March 21st and the official arrival of Spring. My Christmas cactus always gets it wrong!



Sheets on the line wave farewell to K and E our weekend guests.



We didn't notice Saturday's 'super moon' (nearest to earth it will get for X number of years and we missed it till Sunday!) We were too busy admiring the Little Theatre in Gateshead and enjoying Agatha's 'Murder is announced'.

Last week we visited the brewery at Matfen before and after we waded though Northumbrian clarts; today was a more refined lunch at the Hearth (Tearoom and community project in Horsley village) and viewed the craft studios.



Yay! The clocks go forward this coming weekend- an hour's less sleep on Saturday but 'more' daylight; the census is to be done on Sunday; the following weekend is Mothering Sunday. Well March didn't come in like a lion and we have yet to see if it goes out like a lamb....



If you want to do something on Mother's Day Newcastle's independent cinema (the Tyneside) are showing 'Young hearts run free' on Sun 3/4 @ 3.10pm, Mon 4/4 @ 12 (for OAPs) and Tues 5/4 @ 12.45 and it is on around the country - made by Bede Films and set in a Northumbrian village during the 1974 miners' strikes.
