Newbie me hello

Greetings all.

Newbie here on a recommendation of a resident I've discovered this forum, (have to say always found the residents very help when requesting info)

Tenerife veterans having been holidaying on the island for well over 10 years now, lost count of the amount of times we've been used out be every 6 months at one stage.

Last year for the 1st time we did the week before Christmas and loved the atmosphere so much we are out for a fortnight on the 10th-23rd December.
Plans are already afoot to be out for Christmas next year if we are not perspective grandparents by May.

Welcome to the forum BS hope you have fun and a good holiday when you come out

A warm welcome from me , Blyth Spirit. Don't hesitate to ask questions, we're here to help. Also, if you've got a sense of humour, you've found the right place.



P.S. Did I mention, its customary for newbies to buy the other members a drink??

BS so pleased you have joined us. We look forward to your future posts

Blyth, Glad you joined us, I will be on TRG 16th dec to 6th Jan, Maybe see you about, Wear a white rose in your lapel, I will be on a unicycle,

Hi Underdog

Being a 6ft 6 + Geordie(*) I'll not need to wear any identification !!!

I watch out for a badly rode unicycle tho....



* = I'm actually a very proud Northumbrian and certainly not a Geordie (*^!@*$%) but to everybody else the accent sounds the same so I'll go very reluctantly with the Geordie (*^!@*$%) for those non North Easteners.

Welcome aboard Blyth Spirit. Look forward to seeing you posting! Tell your friends about us!

Hello and from me Blyth Spirit. Of course being the best at geography on here I knew you were in Northumberland. I know some peeps from Alnwick so I will be able to understand you. Just shout loud.

Listen Mary, I worked it out to 11" , Hardly 2ft,

nearly you missed the beginning off:

The Famous Blyth Spartans

Aye know annick well, it might be a bit bracing but it's never as cold as people make out (maybe we are a bit tougher than those southern softies !)
One thing about living on the beautiful Northumbrian coast is I could never live anywhere other than by the sea.
Nowt like a walk along the beach in summer and equally as good on a windy winters day the emptiness of a beach on a cold winters day is stunning, Tenerife being an island qualifies as somewhere I live tho !!!!.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Nice image you have conjured up - I much prefer this sort of beach


to this


Though can understand why many love it, especially if you just want to soak up the sun.

So the last bit makes you a Southern Softie

Nah as much as we'd love to live on Tenerife it'll never happen unfortunately.

No! you mean especially if you want to swim/snorkel/scuba.......

IMAGINE all the magnificent fish in that lovely clear water

Cam, please can we have a swimming/snorkeling/scuba smilie?

Not able to post images yet otherwise I'd be able to show you the beauty of the Northumbrian coast.

We shall look forward to it
