  1. climbing frame? basket ball court?

    must have been a while since i've been there!!!

    It's true Mr Darn, they have a little park there, it's been there for years now.

    At the weekends theres football on too, and I've seen kids teams playing there on a few occasions.

    I went a couple of weeks ago and I saw a huge hare, I didnt realise they were so big! Then again it was sitting at the top of the hill which probably made it look even bigger!

    :lol:

    I saw a fox once too, mind it was dead but still...

    There's lots of nice wild flowers, they dont last long though because the grass cutters come around every so often.

    You should get yourself away up there sometime, when you get your camera you never know, you might even get some decent photos.

  2. The horrible white base spoils the effect. Was this structure already there? I can't remember the height of the tide at Newbiggin but maybe it would have looked better if the figures had been anchored on the foreshore (at ground level) with the sea lapping at their feet. Of course other beach users may have objected to this - a bit like those miserable folk on Merseyside who complained about Gormleys beach figures.

    I agree, I think thats why they looked so small to me - because of the huge white structure they stand on. The fact that it's bright white doesn't help either.

  3. I think she has a nice backside but did she really have to wear a thong and why has the guy got a flat cap on? Is it supposed to be representational of Newbiggin folk or what? Bit like the "Angel" the subject matter might have been a bit different but at least something is there for the world to see.

    Malcolm, how do you know she's got a thong on?

    Thats just the hem of the jeans, besides any women would be hard pressed to find a pair of full knickers these days.

    I know what you mean though, I wondered if they were supposed to represent people of the north, with the cap and the miserable faces!

    :lol:

    But at least we can say we have something different!

  4. Come on, lets face it, we have no need to complain at the choice of food available!

    just within walking distance of the front street we have:

    4 places to choose from for pizza (Best Bite, Chinchillas, Moby Dicks, The Italian place next to the Northumberland arms)

    3 Chinese restaurants (2 on glebe road and Bens next to the Northumberland arms)

    1 Indian restaurant (Ashianna)

    1 Mederteranian restaurant (next to simply drinks, front street)

    2 fish and chip shops (Moby dicks and the one next to Best Bite)

    and at least 1 pub (Ridge Farm, not sure if the tavern does food anymore!) and thats just off the top of my head! Did i miss any?

    Moving on to the station and theirs more!

    Of course theirs always the question of quality, but to be honest, I've had good and bad in just about every place i've ever been, And Bedlington's food outlets are mostly good!

    I don't know... every town has plenty of the above.

    It doesn't really make Bedlington any different from anywhere else, does it?.
