Not much hair to work with now but that little bit still keeps the noggin warm, I don't usually wear a hat but have warn a tuque this week on my daily walk, -18c, (keeps the lugs warm too!) 

Thank's Eggy, I always subconsciously associated it with Atlee Park! I don't think I have ever visited it but it will certainly be on my list should I make it over again.

I'm torn between Ridley Park and Gallagher Park, hmm, exactly where is Gallagher Park?

Same here, it always connects after hitting the refresh symbol, often there is no live webcam but no error showing, and I thought this was only because of my operating skills! or lack of them...

Happy birthday Andy, enjoy your day.

I'm not familiar with any of those shops but it is good to see some progress to the redevelopment, I just hope the localsl will support them enough to keep them there! we often don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Our family owned supermarket changed hands this week and prices are up already.

Beloeil, Quebec,

Dawn, thats way over the other side! it does have chemical and explosives industries so I'm sure there will be plenty records etc, you may have a problem with as they will probably be in French, Wikipedia has a lot of information that would be the best starting point. Approximately how long ago would it be your researching ?

My wife said she performed in a concert there (Eileen Snowden's Dance school) lots of steps just to get in the hall! 

Welcome Dawn.

I just missed the incident but did see the police responding, (8pm here) yes more cameras would help identify these louts!

We have the technology!

Just by chance I was watching the webcam I didn't see the incident but was watching the kerfuffle just afterwards and the three police cars arriving, pitty this camera wasn't being recorded!

The point I was making is that putting a purpose build care home in the middle of a high street will certainly cull whatever nightlife Bedlington has left on the high street due to noise complaints etc. and night time vandalism shall certainly go down,  just as the rest of the high street will.   

If the "nightlife" is the cause of the vandalism then it would be good to see it curbed! Noise is not acceptable when it disturbs others, its disrespectful, vandalism isn't acceptable, ask all of those volunteers who beautify Bedlington! I hope the town centre is not relying on drunken louts for its viability. 

Rich, I'm not sure what your suggesting, sounds like you think the restaurants, pubs etc are responsible for those doing the vandalism and that the vandalism is preferred to the new residents!

I dont know who these new residents are or what the use of the Manor is, yes it will be interesting to see what negative effect that will have on the front street especially the economy.

We have a very active Tourist Centre, they offer maps and guides etc, the most popular maps are the illustrated simplified maps with walking times and distances on them.

A very popular program is "Passport to the Peaks" it wouldn't work in the Bedlington situation but the principle would, issue a passport and having it stamped at key locations, once completed  earns you a certificate.

Happy birthday Foxy, I hope it is a great one!

HPW - my woof's just the same as yours ... hours spent on the beach (most days) with ball thrown dozens, and dozens, and dozens of times into the surf, soaked woofa emerging to gallop through the sand, then back into the water.  A walk home, hose the sand off the woof, then off she goes running around the garden getting covered in clarts.  Out with the hose again, then in it comes to dry off in front of the stove and falls asleep.  Now to get some work done ... only for it to wake up and demand more fun and games.  Mind, I wouldn't change a thing (it's watching me now out of one eye ready to interrupt this typing task) - yep, here we go!

I wonder who is realy having the most fun!

With all these good wishes it is a great day! thank you everyone, remember its just a number.

Same here Canny lass, except when our kids come for a visit we are always unlocking the doors, they are all city dwellers now! they even lock there cars!

Sorry about that Eggy, your right! I should have delved into it more before opening my gob. Not realy an issue but could be missed.
