      “Look!” she cried excitedly.

      “That’s the River Tyne,” Leo told her. “The city takes its name from the river, it’s really called Newcastle upon Tyne.”

      After about quarter of an hour they were on the outskirts of the city, heading out across the rolling Northumberland hills to Giggleswick Green, the busy market town where Aunt Nancy and Leo lived.

      “Giggleswick Green is a funny name!” chuckled Milly, as Aunt Nancy pointed out where they were going on the road map.

      “It’s a lovely old town set in the middle of the hills. We love it,” her aunt told her.

      “Why do you live here in England and not in Sydney with us?” Milly asked.

      “I left Australia just before you were born,” Aunt Nancy replied. “I went to work in a hotel in London which is where I met Leo. We fell in love so I stayed in England to be with him. He’s the most fantastic chef,” Nancy continued. “I think it was his spicy coconut prawns that I really fell in love with,” she added with a mischievous wink. “Now we run the best Chinese restaurant in the North of England,” she added proudly.

      Leo nodded in agreement.

      “I’ve made a delicious dish of grilled prawns with lobster, and rice that just melts in your mouth for lunch,” he said.
