Africa

We tried sunny down town Wallsend but as Ling Ling is not waterproof, had to opt for the even sunnier Hua Hin and a little piece of paradise.

Been working round the Middle East for the last 20 years but always returned to the Toon for all my leave periods as I missed the crack, the lads, the club, Carville and Penny Wet, peas puddin and stottie and golf in the rain.

Though I have worked with Geordies every country I've been, and thats not a few.The travelling Geordie is a wonder to behold, and there are little Geordie lands all over the planet so you're never really far from home - except if you are in the middle of the Sahara for Xmas.

However, I just bumped into my mates brother from Whitley Bay about 50 miles east of me last week !!!
