It...One of my best-ever days was spent at Cragside. It was a school history trip, weirdly, at the age of about 16. It was May and perfectly sunny, and in addition to "the history bit" in the house, we ate packed lunches outside and poked around the gardens for hours. It was one of those days where a whole raft of "really funny at the time" things happened which kept us talking for years. I have a framed photo of us all - girls with whom I've largely lost touch - standing giggling in the sunshine, with the pink and grey turrets of the house peeking up behind us. Whenever I hear the "don't you need days like these?" line in Ocean Colour Scene's 'The Day We Caught The Train", I think of that day. It's a magical place.Barrenbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265375480096323798noreply@blogger.com
