Seen this morning. I wonder which bits of Lenin / Leninism they are defending...? 🤔

Previous post was inspired by this I spotted at Elizabeth and Terry's house at the weekend ✨ 🤗

Still quiet - yet - at #SJP, though camera crews are already in place. Sir Bobby is looking proudly on. Time for new statues methinks 😁 #nufc

Semi-regularly and on my way to work at @newcastleuni.bsky.social, I walk to our statue of #MLK and I bow to him in gratitude to his inspiration and example 🙏🏻 www.ncl.ac.uk/art-on-campu... #BelovedCommunity

I find the photo of Hilary Mantel in this obituary compelling: 'Her left eye was the seer, the peeled one. With this she looked on other people, “winding their fabric back onto the bolt and pricing them by the yard”. ' 👁️ h/t Ann Wroe in @economist.com www.economist.com/obituary/202...

Recommendation: 'The Harbour Lights'. I caught up with a buddy over (lactose free) lunch yesterday in the "Best Pub in South Shields". 💯 agree. Absolutely first class and great value. I eat a fair amount and this all disappeared 😁 #nomnom www.harbourlightsinn.co.uk

I've also visited Redesdale, and walked up Carter Pike. Decent path, it was pretty wild when I was there. Advice is to take decent gear for changeable weather, & sensible victuals. It was worthwhile. On a calm, clear day the views will be even better :) www.revitalisingredesdale.org.uk/discover/
Carter Bar laybay. It was pretty wild!The walk up - Carter Pike summit at left. Heather in full bloom. Source of the Rede directly up ahead on the side of the fell. At the end of the boardwalk is a sculpture.Cairn on Carter Pike itself.

~10 minutes away is Flodden Field. It was peaceful & seemingly the harvest had been taken in days before. The well-realised info boards told a story of carnage and history-making. Good to visit and worthwhile taking in what happened. Brutal though... www.flodden1513ecomuseum.org/places/local...

On my staycation, I've been taking in local history and geography - and a bunch of #Northumberland fresh air. Firstly Maelmin 'dark ages' settlement near Milfield, and an aerodrome. It was really interesting, with informative signs around the site. Next time, 60 mins - not 30 www.maelmin.org.uk
