  1. Strands of Home

    With a few days free between terms, I took a trip back to the homeland. To spend some time in Seaburn, near Sunderland, with the spring sun shining out across the strand and a balcony view in the middle of it all.

    Deliberately choosing to do very little, it was a chance to walk slowly for once, taking in the beach and piers from Roker all the way to Whitburn. Reconnecting and renewing with every step.

    The tide ebbs and flows and erodes as all things, but I remain grateful. The seafront of my childhood, sometimes neglected, renews in response, and despite the alienation of the modern age I can still return home. To hear the lilting, happy voices of my native (yet supplanted) accent. To share the promenade with dog walkers and joggers going along their way. To feel at peace among my people.

    Not much has changed across the decades, even if I have.

  4. Feeling unseasonably mild this afternoon on a wander this around Roker in Sunderland.
    It might have been overcast, but temperatures were nudging 18°C, which for 5 November is positively balmy.
    For those unfamiliar with corner of North East England, this is a view across the North Dock Marina, a parking space for small leisure and a fishing boat or two.
    Always remember the day I photographed round-the-world yachtsman Chay Blyth, CBE, when he paid a visit to Roker to officially open the new £1 million marina – seems like yesterday, but in fact it was around 25 years ago!

    Ik ben een #roker met een maar. Ik beloofde mijn #dochters hun rijbewijs te betalen als ze nooit zouden roken. En zo geschiedde. Zij roken nog steeds niet en vinden het vies. 😍
    Ik rook ook niet in hun aanwezigheid. Al jaren niet. Tja, ik ben een #domme #roker die er niet vanaf kan blijven. 😡
