I'm not sure anybody says they like wearing them, but only attention seekers say they "hate" wearing them. Let's be honest, they're really not that much of an issue are they.

Never been so I'm looking forward to it, beach a Bamburgh just been voted best in England or UK It's a lovely stretch of coast. Some great sandy beaches and some great rocky parts. I slipped on a rock neat Bamburgh and broke my camera! The best rock pools I've ever seen further down the coast too- watched two crabs 🦀 having a right go at each other, almost as impressive as a couple of Geordie slappers having a girly scrap on a Satdy neet in Newcastle. It will be busy up that way- usually is in non covid times, but you're soon into walking country. Get into the hills around Rothbury, lovely.

Never been so I'm looking forward to it, beach at Bamburgh just been voted best in England or UK Long walk along the bay (or you can drive) for a pint at the Ship at Low Newton, has it's own micro-brewery and does an amazing dark stout. Go to Carters butchers in Bamburgh for his freshly made steak pies and scotch eggs for your lunches, he does his own Bamburgh Banger, one of Rick Stein's Food Heroes... he's a season ticket holder at St James' and will talk footie all day. Ashes of all my dogs are on Bamburgh beach and that is where I'm going to end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lovely small towns around, Rothbury itself, with good local food if you're cooking. Plenty of eateries too. Alnwick Castle is great, and understandably popular. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/cragside This place is so worth exploring for an interesting mooch with Teddy.

Dimron Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 They do light ales as well, trust you'll like Carters though... sorry about littering the beach. Good return walk from Newton to Dustanburgh and Craster also, do it every time we visit (once or twice a year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedlingtons were originally bred in Northumberland and Rothbury being one of the main areas, hence why there are 2 kinds of Bedlington and the Rothbury type is one of them, Bedlington village isn't that far away as well. Good stuff. No doubt he'll be better for it, and enjoy his walks. If you do go to a castle, be careful of the moat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fucks going on? Indian strain popping up in a couple of local areas. Deane, Daubhill and Great Lever. Likely brought back by people returning from abroad. Not sure if that relates to the cases in Westhoughton though or if that's just bad luck. Big push to stamp it out in those areas being mobilised.

Cases - but the r rate is pushing 3 and rising. You'd expect any hospitalisations in a fortnight or so which is why it's so important to try and keep a lid on it. Could set us right back if we're not careful..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
