I had a quick look in last night. I was well impressed. Didn't think I would say that after what I said about the Percy's demise. The place looks fantastic (inside and out) The prices seem very reasonable with lunchtime and early evening specials. I'm going to give it a try sometime and there are even noises from the residents group that we should have a meal there together. People that I have spoken to who went to the opening night , last Thursday 26th said the food was spot on, a couple of waiters who couldn't count money, but there you go , nothing is perfect !

Going into the garden now to strip the elderberry trees of their fruits before those greedy pigeons and their marras get too many. Should manage to get a couple of gallons or so on the go. Should be ready for next Summer.

I was talking with Ian Lavery last Saturday (7th). He came to Burnside on what he calls a " street surgery". A leaflet was put through doors a couple of days before and if anyone wanted to talk to him they placed it in their window where it could be seen and he would stop for a chat. He spent a bit of time with me and he seemed to take on board what I had to say ( which is usually drivel ha ha ). What was noticeable was the lack of leaflets in the windows of those people who spend their time bemoaning the actions of our Parish Councillors, our County Councillors (who were all there as well ) and our MP. It seems that they are prepared to slag them off to other people and complain that they do nothing for us, yet they don't seem to want to vent their spleens in front of the people that matter , ie. Parish and County Councillor and the MP.

I can remember Graham Coatsworth going on about Bedlington Young Farmers Club. I think he may of hosted a ploughing match or two. Graham was actually a Yorkshireman who farmed Sleekburn cottage farm on the Barrington road. (now Keith Muters stables and livery yard ). Bedlington Young Farmers Club was not around when I was old enough to join, I was in the school YFC and later Tritlington YFC.

There was a Darling family in Bedlington when I was a kid, I cant remember much about them except for a daughter Audrey who was often seen out and about . She had mental health issues (as far as I remember) and she would wander about with her head tilted to one side. I don't know if there is any of the Darling family left in Bedlington now.
