The tourism side of my driving lessons

Generally, apart from repeating same things in the name of learning driving, I am finding it exciting to see the small towns within Sunderland. It blows my mind to see the beauty and the level of infrastructure development on the countryside of the City of Sunderland. Now, if you are from the UK you may want to argue against me as the North East of England is classified as the least developed area in the UK. What can I say in response to that…it all depends on what your pair of eyes has seen for many years.

Well, yesterday was a particularly exciting day to me. My driving lessons turned into a tourism trip! My instructor upon realizing that I am new to the North East of England decided to allow me to drive to Seaham. Seaham is a beautiful town in County Durham and has some of the best beaches in the England. The most exciting thing was that I drove for a long time along the coast of the North Sea....a very beautiful site. The site of the sea and the beaches is magnificent. It was very difficult for me to concentrate on the wheel. I just loved it. Unfortunately we don't have the weather for tourism in this beautiful part of the UK.

By the way today I have notched one more year in this world. Please give me a pat on the back for remembering. Trust me I have technology and other people to thank for that. That tells you how much I value my birthday. With this rumbling, I should say bye for today. I love you.

Happy belated birthday Cryton! I thank God for you, your life, your friendship and your ministry. Please rumble on for more years to come! All the best as you ply the roads in Tyneside! (Did you watch the Tyneside derby over the weekend?)

Many thanks Joe. No, I did not watch the derby partly because I work Saturdays and the cost… a whooping £30! I can't just bring the stadium trip to my prudent wife but if I was given a chance for a birthday gift a trip to the Stadium of Light would be the first. Of course not to watch a derby but to watch the good team whipping the Mackems.
