Beamish and some early festive fun!

The village school in the collery village.
A festive treat if ever there was one!




aMost of us take for granted being able to get Figs and oranges all year round, but back in 1913 they were a christmas treat.
Window display from the Co op.
Nice and simple outside decorations.
Anyone for some soap?
I wonder who this may be?

Ah you cant o wrong with an old fashioned pub!


Beamish is a great living museum in the north east of England between Newcastle and Durham, A lot of it is built from reclaimed houses, banks and Masonic halls all from the surrounding areas, that have been moved from there original places and rebuilt brick by brick.
This year we were esp lucky as the christmas season there has started for a full month instead of the weekends only its been in previous years, that used to sell out well in advance.

I would love to spend a weekend there! Your posts always make me miss the U.K. We had such fun there and we traveled every chance we got. I really enjoy reading your blog and looking at the photos.
Hope your Christmas and New Year are good ones.
