Newcastle

Update: the wedding was great, think it's fair to say I've failed at Blaugust though - I just didn't have time. I'm going to continue to try and post more regularly for the rest of the month, though!

I'm catching a train to Newcastle today - it takes about 5 hours from Bristol, so this morning I'm making sure we've got snacks, books and puzzles to do. Earlier I messaged my boyfriend to ask if I should pick us up some Radlers for the train (a radler is a beer / soft drink mix, usually 2-2.5% alcohol).

Not beating the British alcoholic allegations, but drinking on the train is a time honoured tradition. I enjoy getting settled on a train, setting your stuff up, hopefully getting a table.

We're going up for a wedding - I think it'll be fun, but I also sort of dread socialising with a load of people I don't know very well.
