I managed to take this at Cullercoats, between two bands of very heavy rain - you can see the dark on the horizon (on its way to Norway or somewhere) and there was another coming up behind me

Immediately regretted my choice of clothing to get this Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 (D-ABYI) at 37000ft over the top of Whitley Bay this morning. It was a bit nippy!

An unexpected twist to a walk looking for Dipper on the Horton Burn! This Little Bittern was discovered late morning at North Shields in a bit of a sorry state. Pictured here at handover to a rescue team. Looking healthy (and drier), hopefully it will recuperate overnight for a release…

Wooden Dollies of North Shields
The Wooden Dollies are fairly well known to most visitors to North Shields but do you know how they came about?

The statue is the work of Keith Barrett, an artist working in Shields for decades, responsible for, amongst other public art, the incidental and playful installations in “the triangle”, Shields’ only homezone.

The wooden dolly trapped in the library used to stand on this now empty plinth, looking down Howard St to the river and, now, Mary Ann Macham’s statue.

Went to see North Shields’ new Mary Ann Macham statue this morning.
I love that she’s looking out to the mouth of the Tyne, signalling Shields’ maritime histories and those who arrived from distant ports.
She clearly echoes too the other ship figureheads in the town, our “wooden dollies”.
