I
think I mentioned that we'd moved to the North East in a previous post.
Well, we're just outside Middlesbrough. We've lived here for two whole
months now and we had never ventured into the town centre. Now, before
we moved from Essex, I read lots of reviews of Middlesbrough and let me
tell you, most of them weren't pretty (apparently I'm a smoggy
now?). So yesterday instead of bumming about in our pj's, we drove into
the town centre. To be entirely honest, at first, it looks a bit sketch.
But once you have a mooch about, there's much more to it than even I
expected! It's a university town you know (I didn't know)? So lots of
decent eating places, although we were there too early to partake. There
are also lots of decent shops and even a Starbucks (how I've missed
you!!)!
How could I forget our main reason for our trip...birthday present shopping for Oscar! I'll post a photo below, needless to say, he was pretty impressed with the shops! So Middlesbrough, I will definitely be back to see your face soon!
PS Am I the only one who's looking outside at some torrential rain today? The bank holiday weekend is most definitely over :(
