South of the Border

Down Newcastle way, and resisting the temptation to call this 'Fog on the Tyne'.  It was just a bit grey. That didn't matter as we were in the Baltic for hours (only managed to cover two floors), and then the Sage, for tea and a bit of a sit down.  In between, we walked over the Millenium Bridge (above), along the Quay and back across another bridge - how many bridges does Newcastle have? 

Later we drove to North Shields for a great seafood supper, and another stroll by the shore. There's a fine monument to fishermen lost at sea (extra).

Can't resist the other extra, spotted in the Baltic shop. They are dog toys, apparently. I'd have a hard time choosing which to give to my hound, if I had one.
