Enjoy your weeks vacation Sandra , no matter where you visit you will love the places and people . ( Side-Bar for Norman ) Why on earth did they locate Beamish in acow pasture inthe. Middle of No-Where ? Surely ther were more relistic locations in : Shields/Jarrow/Hebburn along the waste land of derelict ship yards to create a semblance of the past with easy access by public transportation . Plus revitalizing the chosen area ? ? Love the idea but not the location.
