Meanwhile, at the Coast

We took a run down the coast from the hospital at Blyth to Seaton Sluice as the weather is so very nice at the minute and we have to take the chances when they present themselves. Chips and mushy peas at The Waterford Arms and ice cream from The Crescent Cafe in Seaton Deleval made me feel like a kid again.

Of course it was a distraction that was all too fleeting as the evening brought more bad news that was soothed (for me) by raspberry sambuca and the company of my sister and brother-in-law but saw Jen on a foam mattress in the hospital for the night. The shifts she and her Mum have been alternating are beginning to blur at the edges.
