Trip to Newcastle/Gateshead over weekend, sheltering in the abode of Ian. We went on a trip to the seaside, where we clambered over rockpools, chased and were chased by waves and generally acted like fools.

Then we went and visited a castle / priory, which was quite well preserved, as these things go. I'll spare you my rambling train of thought about this subject. As compensation - a photo.



I rather like Newcastle, especially whizzing across the Tyne on the Metro. Being built across a fairly steep river valley makes for all sorts of excellent views and clambering up steps. Good bridges!

In other news, I am being dispatched to Denmark (in April). Specifically, Aarhus, a place I find it very difficult to spell. I hope that is right ;-)

Anyway, they have a synchrotron, and I am going to try and do some science with it, or something. Advice on essential viewing in the Aarhus area welcome - come on you closet Dane-o-philes, I know you're out there...
