Anyone in the North East {Tyne and Wear or Northumberland??}

Hello Hileena yes here I am !

I am from South Tyneside. Right on the North East Coastline. A very proud Geordie Gran. There are a few of us around who I am sure will make themselves known soon.

A very warm welcome to you .

Does Durham not count?

Of course it does durhamjen I was kinda hoping you would be around !

Bump....

Come on I know there are more of us out there

I was wondering if I was the only geordie granny on gransnet. Hi to you all. Im in south east Northumberland near our gorgeous coast.

I don't live there but spend a lot of time in Northumberland and have been to some great meet ups in Edinburgh.

Hello Silverfish I had no idea you were a Geordie Gran! I am right on the beautiful coast too. A little further South than you in South Tyneside. What a beautiful day it is here today. The sea is shimmering in the sun. Happy days.

Yes Tegan I think you are a part-time Northerner. We really should have a Northumberland meet up sometime.

I am a northerner too, half way between Northumberland and Durham

I'm in Northumberland too

I'm an adopted Northerner with a southern accent, so I hope that's OK. Currently live in Newcastle with DH. DD3 lives in Gateshead (twins on the way if all goes well).
Maybe we should arrange a meet up

I don't normally get home sick, but hearing you all talking about The North East, just now I am

Where's halfway between Northumberland and Durham, harrigran? If I drive to Northumberland I do not go through any other county. The border is fifteen minutes drive away.

gillybob, I live in Northumberland, not south Tyneside, I live within short driving distance of the cheviots, lovely Alnwick castle and my favourite place of all time Rothbury. If I win the lottery, I will buy a home in Rothbury or maybe Seahouses. I cant be any more specific about where I live as in the past posts I have slagged my job and bosses off so much that if they identified me I would not be popular.lol.

About time to sort out another NE/Edinburgh meeting? I missed the last one . I drove through Rothbury last Autumn - we were staying at Bellingham and on our way to Alnwick Castle Gardens - love the book shop in Alnwick, could spend days there....

Definitely Marmight .
As long as it's before September when I go back to the States

Northumberland as well (14 miles or so from Newcastle).

I'll probably be oop north last couple of weeks in August.

What about Alnmouth? The train stops there.

Alnmouth is fine by me, as long as its before the dark nights as I don't like to be out then (scared of bogeymen)

(or women)

Tyne and Wear durhamjen, I am a mackem

My eldest son and his wife live and teach in Sunderland, harrigran.

Hi Silverfish I absolutely love Rothbury we used to have a static caravan on the Coquetdale caravan park ( the one at the top of the hill) and later in Seahouses (Seafield) . Sadly we had to sell up (for financial reasons) but we now have a tourer and we spend as many weekends as we can in/around those areas. Like you if I won the lottery I would want to live in Rothbury or Seahouses. [happy emoticon]

I could spend forever in Barters Books too Marmight I could quite literally lose myself in among the shelves there.

I just knew all the lovely Northern grans were out there.

I don`t live in Northumberland, but love it there, especially around Seahouses.
