A quick plug for the Baltic and the Festival of the North East for this next weekend. I shall be driving up very early on the Friday, but as long as the weather doesn't produce fog or torrential rain or (I'm sure it's possible) snow, it should be quite a nice, quiet and pleasant journey. I know there are plenty of people up and around a lot earlier than I normally am, but not too many, surely...
