Gutted! Such a beautiful spot on Hadrian's Wall, here's some of my footage from a few years back. #SycamoreGap 😢

A fine selection of Tyne Bridges during golden hour this evening. #Newcastle #Tyne #Tynebridges

Anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar. Shame we don't celebrate this world-defining event. We could all be eating rum-filled chocolate cannon balls and stuffing one hand in our jackets. Anyway, the lads did well. #trafalgar #collingwood #nelson

Great to see Livramento's impact and how a team is destined to evolve if you give a manager space to think long term. Still, I like to think Trippier will pick up the fedora in training and wink 'not yet' Indy style. #MUNNEW

Good morning #Tynemouth

Jesmond Old Cemetery offering its own Christmas card suggestions this evening. #Jesmond #Newcastle

Sad to hear of the death of Bryan Ansell. #gamesworkshop

Love wor Bruno, but how many times does he tie his laces every game? Are these special knots? HWTL #nufc #brunoguimaraes

Digging out old photos I took 20 years ago this year. Didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous couple... 14th Nov 2004. Newcastle vs Man U. We lost 1-3. Rooney scored a brace. I seem to remember we tried to sign him that summer. #NUFC

55 yrs ago today. An awe inspiring achievement unmatched since in a world desperately lacking aspiration & thus inspiration. We so lack such things now that there is widespread ignorance it was ever possible. Endemic naysaying resulting in a belief it couldn't have been #Apollo11

Well, storm Eowyn is on its way thankfully, and while there was a bit of local drama, it could have been a lot worse. Noticed on the global weather map that these winds were by far the strongest in the world today. This surprised me. The world is a pretty big and diverse place...

I took this photo 21 years ago on an early Sony digital compact on long exposure at about 3 o'clock in the morning. To think how much the technology has changed since then... (though the quayside, not so much)
