  This is in Jesmond? Any idea how much it is to stay there? I need a hostel to stay at when I come back for graduation in December.

  Yes! On Jesmond Road, between the Punchbowl and the hotel that burned down that I can’t currently remember the name of. Check here, should be able to tell you the price- you might have to join the Youth Hostel Association, not sure, I did when I stayed at one in London.

  Have a closer look at your picture.

  I think the plant is Virginia Creeper - not Ivy.

  Ivy is various shades of green and not deciduous and can be destructive on walls.

  Virginia Creeper is decidious and tunrs various shades of red and orange before shedding its leaves. Keep and eye on it and see if they drop.

  If they do not drop then I am wrong and curious.

  Mrs K, I’ll keep you updated, but I’m pretty sure that if I can be wrong when it comes to plants, I almost certainly will be :)

  I stayed at the hostel years ago when I was showing an American friend around and driving her from Newcastle to York. The owner let me stay for free as I was doing her so many favours!

  You don’t need to be a YHA member to stay there, though it can save a little cash. If you’re going to use YHA (or HI) hostels a lot then the annual fee’s quite reasonable. Cheapest place to get it is the Hanoi Backpackers’ Hostel in Vietnam; cheapest in Europe is the Retro Youth Hostel in Cluj Napoka, Romania.

  Yeah, stayed in both of those as well!
