Seaside living #WhitleyBay

Noticing #Nature 🌊 👀 #NorthShields

Last night in Whitley Bay. It’s that moment before Christopher Lee turns into a bat and flits off through the open window.

Noticing the Moon 🌙 tonight from #Cullercoats #Tynemouth

Noticing this morning’s #Nature by the seaside 🌊 #WhitleyBay

Remembered Sky Whitley Bay 2018 #RememberedSky

Treading some long untouched ground for the website this morning, starting at good old Percy Main - one of Tyneside’s few true pit villages. This place was all farmland prior to the Duke tapping up the seams. Pits, churches, shipyards and pubs on the list today!

Post-Whitley Bay parkrun. Mostly grey and a meh run for me, but the light over the headland made it all worthwhile. @parkrunuk.bsky.social #parkrun #WhitleyBay

Noticing the light and overcast sky against the symmetry and cast of striking vertical white masts of sailing boats at Royal Quays Marina #NorthShields #Nature

It seems the ghost of the long, long, gone Whitley Bay bandstand appeared in the frost this morning. Apparently demolished ~80 years ago! #WhitleyBay #Bandstand #BandstandsOfBluesky

And again this morning, the view today from North Shields’ Fish Quay, just further out.

Whitely Bay #whitleybay

Noticing this in #Tynemouth this morning 🥶 #UKsnow

Tynemouth in the snow! Snowman on the beach! Kids sledging on Beaconsfield. Looks like a giant snowman at St George's church, but it's actually a small one on the wall! #Perspective

There's usually a sea at the bottom of this road

STAN LAUREL (around 12yrs of age) with his mother Madge outside his home North Shields.

Just like the waves at Whitley Bay this afternoon, the old year seeps slowly away while the new one tumbles towards us, all under the moon's watchful gaze.

Tynemouth longsands. They make them tough up north. Sauna cabins on the beach then into the North Sea this morning on the northeast coast. Not for the faint hearted 🥶🥶
