Saturday October 17th

Today was the journey home, although we stopped off at Barter Books in Alnwick for about an hour and a half where both Mathew and I bought some books (its SUCH a great second hand Bookshop!  Even if you don't buy anything, its worth jus tlooking around!), and the on to The Angel of the North. Just outside Gateshead, we managed to find a place to stop and park. We thought we would stop by and actually have a look at it since we were passing it, and neither of us had been up close to it before.

It really is quite odd, but in a good sort of way! Its interesting. Plus, I had no idea how it was fixed to the ground, but knowing exactly how large it is…..it kinda needs it really! Its huge, dramatic, and pretty cool.

We went on to Markfield arriving at around 4pm. It was good to be home!
