    Lake district is great but crawling with tourists - it's barely bearable in winter. Heaving in summer.
    Northumberland - stunning but very rural .

    I'd go for the latter.

    Why not cross the border? :D

    It's hard to find a place when no place seems right.

    Durham. Has everything. Has a cricket ground. You can tell a place if it has a cricket ground. It's also a University town.

    Nothing up, but cider is going down pretty well.

    Oh very little these daze,but you knew that. Never mind that Samhain is almost upon us and for one time of the year i can make children scream without getting frowned at,woop.

    Samhain. Had to look that one up. The locals wouldn't have known that either; they're all Galloway Irish. Clocks go back a week on Sunday.
    But... if you are an optimist, from that point, it is only 54 days until it starts getting lighter, little by little all the way till the 22 June.

    You don't use the article (or preposition) when using dates.

    I haven't a clue either.

    Going to do some research. Perhaps we can unravel it.

    "What Are Articles?
    Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. Consider the following examples:

    After the long day, the cup of tea tasted particularly good.
    By using the article the, we’ve shown that it was one specific day that was long and one specific cup of tea that tasted good.
    After a long day, a cup of tea tastes particularly good.
    By using the article a, we’ve created a general statement, implying that any cup of tea would taste good after any long day."

    I guess that the article in question is the 'the' before June.
    However, having little real knowledge of the correct construction of sentences but a reasonable understanding of what and what doesn't sound correct, I can honestly say that I missed 'of'. In other words, I should have written '...the 22nd of June.'

    I disagree. While the article and preposition are often spoken, it is incorrect to use them when writing.

    All that is required when writing is the ordinal number and the month.

    But saying '...the 22nd of June' is perfectly correct. No?!
    Had I not accidentally missed putting it in, we would not be having this conversation.

    Yes to say it is correct but I'm pretty sure to write it is wrong.

    You simply write 22nd June.

    8 cans of cider and a kebab with chilly and garlic sauce will cure that.
    You could probably get a 2 for the price of 3 offer on the kebabs over there, surely.

    10 mins till CC turns up to this 'party;. You'll see.

    Next time, give me a shout and we'll meet up half way. Then you could jump on the M6 South.
