Gabe Davies and Lauren McCrossen live in Tynemouth in northern England close to the Scottish border. It's a surfing town, but you had better wear a very, very thick wetsuit, even in the summer. There are ruins everywhere, everywhere.....forts, castles, monasteries, huts, churches.....the list goes on and on.

Brrrrrr.........Breathtaking
It was very cool and windy in June and I was shivering a little as I looked towards the River Tyne as it flowed out to the North Sea. Make sure if you visit there in the summer, you bring a winter coat!
And off the Beach
Just steps to the water and surfing waves, Gabe and Lauren and their cocker spaniel, Coco, have a huge garden across from their apartment. It's theirs to use.......rented from the Duke of Northumberland. The Duke has property all over England.
Dear, Dear Sandy
Mom's Favorite Place to Be
Bargains Galore
So.....when visiting Tynemouth, make sure you make it over to the train station on Sundays and hit the flea market.
Put on Your Sunscreen
I am at a spectacular beach in Tynemouth called Longsands......it's sunny and cool, and absolutely gorgeous. This stretch of sand is popular year round with all the locals and has been for generations. It's a destination and it was my destination. I have loved every minute of my adventure here in northeast England on the North Sea.
