Here's a question: I went for a nice walk around Ashington Community Woodland before work this morning. I got all of the words on this info board, apart from Kyst, and I can't find a specifically Geordie/Pitmatic/Northumbrian translation online, although I did see that in Scots it means Chest, so I most likely something to do with that. Does anyone know?

Update! It's a chest, to keep things in down the pit

This is fantastic, a 1976 documentary about the Northumbrian Dialect, featuring Cheviot hill shepherds

Is "they say you can learn a lot by walking a mile in their shoes. Why not try on their hats instead?"an old #northumbrian saying I don't understand?

A proper wild #Northumbrian day. With the dog walked, it's time to huddle by the fire and maybe share some stories.
