Chippy Lunch – £5.00
After an explore about the various little villages, entering Victorian houses and quizzing the ‘homeowners’ on their professions (my favourite was the dentist, who told me that if I had been alive in his day I probably would have had all my teeth pulled out, and he might have accidentally miscalculated a deadly amount of laughing gas for me when doing it!) Poppy and I started to get rumbly tums. So, on our adventures on taking various forms of historic transport – the steam train was my favourite – we found a rustic 1820’s Fish and Chip shop. A couple of cones of chips later, we were fuelled up. But sorry, no pictures of the food – we were too hungry!

Hot Chocolate – £2.50
We spent pretty much the whole day at Beamish and so towards the evening, as it started to get dark, we made a pitt stop for a hot chocolate at the Victorian Christmas markets. Beamish is honestly so beautiful and such a fun day, and I feel like I made the most out of my challenge money by doing something truly different. Plus, you can visit unlimited for a year under an adult ticket at Beamish, so next time I visit Pops, we can both go back for a second time, too!

Over all, I had a fantastic day trip out and a lovely day spending time with Poppy. Turns out £100 can get you pretty far when you put your mind to it, and can also let you treat a good friend, too! Sure, I could have gone out for a meal and drinks in Manchester, but that would have been too easy – I like o make the most of my time off and with my Huaweui Ascend Y550 £100 Blogger Challenge, I definitely did.
