Life in Tynemouth

Today's blog is all about living in Tynemouth!

As a family, we have really enjoyed living in Tynemouth. The sea is on our doorstep, and we have a lovely sandy beach. This webcam is the same view that we have from our front room window.  

There are two schools in Tynemouth: Priory Primary School and King Edwards School. I used to go to Priory Primary. My teacher was called Miss Bruce. She was very nice. 

Opposite Priory Primary School is a chocolate shop; it is called Gareth James Chocolatier. I once spent an afternoon making chocolate there!

This is a picture of Tynemouth Front Street (around the corner from the school). You can nearly see the shop where we always choose grandma's earrings.

At the bottom of Front Street is the old drinking fountain and Mr Woods' cafe. It is one of our favourite cafes. We once saw a parade going down this street. Every year there is a big Tynemouth festival with street artists and entertainers. 

For example: Acrobats, Puppet Shows... They're all great fun.

I once did a photography lesson there. We were photographing texture.

Before you get to front street you pass a statue of  Queen Victoria.

Iola and mummy and me used to pretend that Queen Victoria was dancing. This was because Iola used to be scared of the statue.
