We may have a chance to meet up later this year.
Marianne is planning a reunion with two of her friends at Whitsun (Sunday, 20 May) and for some very complex reason they are all meeting in Whitley Bay. Now that can't be too far from you on Tyneside?
Anyhow I have been invited along. I have been checking Whitley Bay out on the internet - it looks fine. A lot of redevelopment going on on the seafront which I hope will be finished by Whitsun. It has a Catholic church, St Edwards, a Wetherspoons (named The Fire Station) and fine Italian and fine Turkish restaurants.
We would have to keep this secret from Marianne but perhaps I could slip away and meet you and Delia?
What do you say bonnie lad?

This merely rubs salt into the wounds.Nigel Green Whitley Bay
