Northern Powerhouses

I have found a wonderful place to have breakfast. 

I am delighted to say good taste and culture has arrived in my homeland. Funky Monkey is a real Northern Powerhouse. My porridge with 'all the stuff' is delicious

funkymonkeycoffeeco   is friendly, trendy and all and all an eye opener. Busy and heaving. .  

And who says the North can't rejuvenate itself?  

I spend the rest of the day with my cousins and the grandkids 

Sam says to me three times 'I don't want you to go Aunty Meg.'  He's the only person who needs me!  At 5pm he says 'You can go now if you want' 

Here's a rare smile from lovely serious Sophie.
