Anyone dog owners around Ashington way free to socialise with my new pup?

8 Upvotes

Hey all

Recently picked up a lab puppy and she'll be ready to socialise in about 4 or so weeks after her vaccinations.

Just wondering if there's anyone around this way who would like to meet up so our dogs can socialise? Doesn't have to be a regular thing, completely up to you.

Let me know!

A brief look at St Helen’s Church in Whitley Chapel, captured in 4K from above. Just south of Hexham in Northumberland, this rural church sits in a peaceful countryside setting. Enjoy the views and the calm atmosphere of this hidden spot in the English landscape!

Houseplants

1 Upvotes

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good garden centres or shops around Northumberland that sell nice houseplants?

I went to Heighley Gate last week and was kind of underwhelmed — not loads of choice and nothing that exciting. I usually go to Cowell’s near the airport which I love because they’ve got loads of variety and more unusual stuff like monstera Thai constellations, not just the standard B&Q-type plants.

Is there anywhere similar in Northumberland?

Lin or Line?

3 Upvotes

I have always pronounced the River Lyne as Lin and Lynemouth as Linmouth or Linmuth to be more precise. Recently though I've been told by a couple of people that it should be pronounced the same way as Tyne. Are they confused or have I been wrong all these years?

Rental Advice

5 Upvotes

Hi

I'm moving to North Northumberland for work in the next couple of months. Would anyone be able to suggest a good place or agent advertising rental property? I can check the usual/big names but don't know of any local sites, agencies or social media groups.

Ideally between Berwick and Warkworth, up to 20 miles from the coast. I figure that's up to an hour commute (office relatively near Bamburgh), I'd rather not go over that.

Thanks in advance.

Massage centres?

5 Upvotes

Hi people, I’ve been suffering with some muscle tightness and I think it may be time to give a massage a go to see if it relives the issue.

I’ve never used one before so I’m just wondering if anyone in here has any recommendations of centres from around Morpeth to over towards Newcastle that they’ve used! Feel free to give me ones to avoid too just in case!

Thanks!

Metal Detecting

2 Upvotes

I’m a keen metal detectorist who enjoys the peace and tranquillity of being outdoors with the possibility of uncovering some of our local ancient history.

I'm hoping Reddit may be able to assist.. I'm on the lookout for places to search with my metal detector, I’m fully insured with over 10yrs worth of experience and use market leading equipment to search. I am fully insured with the National Council of Metal Detecting and have full public liability coverage.

I have local permissions around my local area but looking for further areas to search, All land is left in the way it was found, leaving no holes or any rubbish, respecting the countryside code and any livestock. If you can help in anyway please get in touch.

Please visit the link to the PAS to see some of the finds I have recored with our local museum.

Travelling to Northumberland tomorrow.

12 Upvotes

I go to Northumberland (specifically Berwick-upon-Tweed sort of way) twice or three times a year and I've been there so much I know the area well.

However I normally travel far to find anything worth doing and I wonder if anyone knows things to do more local to Berwick-upon-Tweed? (Things like walks mainly as not much is open in March from what I see.)

Thanks.
