Dear Sir,

Re:- Dave Catleugh’s Thank you letter. Surely he has omitted an important ‘r’ in the final word! We are the most fortunate area in the COUNTRY, if not the world.

Wrinklies appreciate the Senior Citizen trips greatly especially because, like Topsy, “they just growed”, cared for by the stalwart Marie Robinson’s research.

She and her team cherry-pick the best routes to the pleasant hotels in the most beautiful surroundings. We can choose from Northumberland, Yorkshire, East Coast or West Coast, with a choice, too, of menus and short shopping opportunities.

Every year we think it perfect, but the next year it is even better. Here, in God’s little acre we are very lucky. Thank you Aycliffe Town Council.

Marilyn and Colin Carter
