I found myself in gorgeous Gosforth at lunchtime, so felt it was time to head for Trinity cafe (there are still one or two others round about that I need to visit, but their time will come).
So, Trinity, set back from the High Street and adjoining Holy Trinity church. Its walls are mainly glass, so it's light and bright and you can watch the world go by. The furnishings are light wood but is there a slight institutional air, or is it just that I know it is connected to an institutional building? At any rate the people of Gosforth young and old seem happy to use it and the food is good and competitively priced.
I enjoyed a pot of tea (nearly three cups) and a really nice piece of caramel shortbread. It seems to be very much a community venture as there are information leaflets on local events etc available and a 'Prayer Tree' (metal branches, stained glass leaves) in a corner where you can leave your prayer requests.
To sum up, this is a good one to head for if you're thinking globally and acting locally.
