Why can’t the BBC (national, not local news) stop reporting that Sam Fender is from #Newcastle ? He’s not. #NorthShields

If someone was from Croydon it wouldn’t be reported as London, would it? Is it really beyond southern media to report accurately on items in the north?

Dean & Britta in Durham and North Shields

So… at about 11 o’clock last night I was standing on Tynemouth station waiting for a Metro back to Whitley Bay knowing that my week following Dean & Britta around the north of England was over… but… what a week, and what an ending!

If you know a Young Reader (16+) who’d be interested in being a Beta Reader for my latest novel, please get in touch.

I’ll send them a printed copy when it’s out, and credit them.

Dean & Britta announce a show in North Shields

OK, so maybe posting on AHFoW just because Dean & Britta have announced one more show may seem a little extreme ~ but I’m doing it all the same because the show that’s just been announced is in a tiny venue a couple of miles down the road from where I live! I gasped when I saw it - Hazel got a little concerned for my wellbeing!

Sir James Knott Memorial Flats

The Sir James Knott Memorial Flats on Tynemouth Road, overlooking the mouth of the Tyne, in North Shields and close to Tynemouth, were opened in 1939. Notably, the flats were built with the threat of war in mind, constructed with fire-resistant materials and with large cellars for use as air-raid shelters.
