So there I was last night watching the latest episode of Vera when I started thinking about Newcastle, where much of the series is filmed. I recalled Amen Corner, my favourite spot in the Toon. A path runs from there round the back of the Cathedral to the rear entrance of that wonderful old bank building on Dean Street, in which my office was located. And I recalled Amen Corner, the band, and Andy Fairweather Low and watching him pour his heart out singing Gin House. Then suddenly I came out of my reverie to see Vera setting off from Amen Corner along the Cathedral path. And seconds later she’s standing in the Victorian splendour of the top landing of the bank building, right next to the corridor that led to my office. Spooky. I needed a drink after that!
