What a beautiful town.     enjoyed a few days with my lovely daughter Carole son in law Rich and grandchildren Kara and Luke. Hexham Abbey is awesome. Carole and I enjoyed a deeply emotional evensong on the 31st July the eve of her Birthday at Hexham Abbey.

On the 1st August we travelled to Angel of the North together then on to Durham Botanical Gardens, Carole wanted to see the century flowering cactus. We enjoyed our time together, unfortunately, Kara could not come as she was working but we were all together in the evening.

Carole;s Birthday cake was delicious apparently,  Kara and I had gluten free chocolate cake which was scrumptious.
