Welcome to Visit Newcastle
Yes, I know the above photo has been taken in Gateshead - a little ironic but you can see Newcastle so I'm going with it!
Welcome to Visit Newcastle - a new blog and unofficial guide to the best city in the world. I always feel like my other site (North East Family Fun) will have some kind of shelf life and have dabbled with other websites in the past but I just haven't had the passion for my other sites that I have with North East Family Fun. Seriously - blogs only work in the long term if you write something you are passionate about!
My main love in life is North East England so I've decided to set up Visit Newcastle to reflect this. I always get these ideas in the middle of the night and bought the domain at 2am in the morning. I'm a strong believer in just doing something if you want to and not to hang around - that's one of the main reasons I love self-employment and being my own boss.
Anyway, the timing to set this up is a little bad on my behalf as October & November are the two busiest months for me work-wise so I'm not sure how much I'll get this site off the ground until the beginning of next year. I will be focussing on growing my new Facebook page though so do follow along.
I don't really want there to be too much of a cross-over between this site and North East Family Fun so Visit Newcastle will be dedicated to ONLY writing about Newcastle City Centre and its suburbs (Heaton/Jesmond/Ouseburn). I have been doing some market research and have a long list of ideas for posts to write - basically anything and everything to do with Newcastle goes. Expect area guides, theatre reviews, 'what's on' posts, foodie round-ups and ideas for things to do - for grown-ups as well as kids.
I hope you enjoy and please bear with me over the next few months as I get this new site off the ground. Oh and don't worry - North East Family Fun isn't going anywhere and will still be my main site for a good few years yet.
