Not like the ice cream and the coffee were of a decent quality, mind...
My son just walked up and was given his icecream. He said it wasn't the best icecream and could he have a nice one from outside Fenwick's please. I sniffed the coffee and decided to stick to my water.
The free tickets are of no use to me as I need to get an arriva NE day or family ticket (and be at the mercy of the X12 and the roads) or (much) preferably an explorer ticket to get there and back in the first place. If they're giving out tickets in Sunderland, they might be more useful, as they can extend the range of an arriva family ticket and save me a few quid, taking the boys out. (I think I might actually be enjoying the freedom and novelty of days out on the buses even more than my eldest because we were pretty much confined to the village by my youngest, in previous summer holidays. He's now got the idea of waiting for a bus and usually manages to get off one again without having to touch every single pole on the way off! That actually does make me very happy!)
