Life has been busy lately. Sometimes the best thing to do over a long weekend is to take a step back and get some rest. But sometimes the best thing to do is to keep busy. To fill your days with things that make you happy. And fill your hours up by spending time with people who make you smile. This weekend, much like the last few, I’ve focused on doing the latter. I’ve always been the sort of person who loves being busy. So when things aren’t quite right, the best medicine for me is to flood my senses. Or throw myself into being productive. And what better way than with a visit to the Boiler Shop Steamer?

I’m not sure how it’s come around so fast, but the months seem to flying this year. And the start of the month, is always made for the Steamer. Every first weekend of the month, the event brings together some of the best food places in the city. Since Charissa hadn’t been, it seemed the perfect place to spend yesterday afternoon. There’s nothing I love more than wandering around the old Stephenson Works. It’s the perfect medley of food stalls, drinks and live music. What better way to get lost for a few hours? And if you’re in Newcastle, it’s all back again tonight. I don’t want to fill this post with words. Which probably sounds strange coming from a writer. But I think the photos say enough.
