The Laverock hall road is the A1061 the road coming out of Blyth from Newsham, up to the roundabout that right takes you Bedlington, Horton and Three horse shoes and left to Seaton Delaval, straight over towards Shankhouse and Cramlington. I'm not sure what leaves would be used when dying the eggs, the yellow gorse flower was under the onion skin, tied with thread I'd guess the the leaves would have been also from the gorse bush!

Used to do this but not the star shaped leaf, often put coffee in for more colour, writing name with a candle, my dad used to decorate eggs and we would win competitions with them! we ALWAYS had a egg japping contest before eating, pointy end then the blunt end! When dad was lad they used to go farm to farm to be given eggs, duck, goose, hens etc Wasn't Shankhouse up just past Three horse shoes pub? top of the Laverock hall road, past the first roundabout.

I'm enjoying the banter but thought this was rather funny!

Yurt! I had to Google Yurt, what is the purpose of a Yurt at the schools as mentioned in Russ's report?

What aeroplanes are you going to watch? anything special?

All in jest CL and not offended, but being only from Blyth the rest of your explanation is wayyyy over my head,

That's rather rude! as bad as the original comment.

And a very happy Australia day to you Brian.

Er er! like HPW said!

Many happy returns Canny lass, hope you have a great, warm day...

Please excuse the topic drift! Our number plate /vehicle registration is very different system and only our military have Canadian number plates, each Province issues their own, totally different plates completely, (most provinces only issue a rear plate) issued to the car owner and stays with that owner and not the vehicle, each year a fee is payed for a year/ month sticker, that is all you can affix to a plate. Two of my vehicles have personal plates and two have vintage plates, I used to have the Northumberland red yellow stripped flag/ bumper sticker on one truck.

"to give everyone a sense of national pride once again." I don't think what is allowed or not presently allowed is his Mr Barnes's argument he just would like to fly his "COUNTRIES" flag with pride while not breaking any laws and encourage others to do the same. I am proud to be British but have no pride in being European! just as I am proud to be Canadian but not North American!

It was also hotmail that I had a problem using!

Happy new year everyone, wishing you all the best wishes for 2018.

5th attempt went through okay

Tried several times but it won't go!

Merry Christmas Brian and to all our forum friends.

Loved them both. The orange juice bottle was very "square" my dad taught me the wonders of a spirit level using one of those! Ah! the things that you remember that mom and dad passed on. Sorry for the drift from the Alma Inn. (I couldn't resist before I forgot!)

Hmm just wondering what you do with all your spare time! Frustration must be the worst part of the job! But satisfying knowing you make a difference,

Thank you Ex Bedlington, Has to be me, Ill have to work on it.

No live web cam here for a few days, is it just me?

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...
