There was one on the farm about 25 years ago. On a hill. In Nth Tyneside. It survived a winter ! Use to sit at the kitchen window. Must have escaped from an aviary. One day it turned up & had lost a leg ! It lived a good bit longer. Was around for about 18 months in total.

London now has tens of thousands of bright green parakeets, spreading to new areas every year. They were never native to Britain. So how did they end up here? Most likely, they escaped or were released from captivity decades ago. Since then, they’ve adapted remarkably well to London’s parks and suburbs, helped by mild winters and abundant food. To some, they add colour and character to the city, to others, they are seen as an invasive species. Have they reached your area yet?

'The Icknield Way.' (1911) The originality of this work represents Spencer Gore's response to European Post Impressionism in several shows staged in London, in particular Manet and the Post Impressionists and the Italian Futurist Painters in the same year this was made.

@JHCPAL Crest of my GGGran's brother Joseph Crawhall when he was Mayor of Newcastle in about 1849/50

It strikes me this would suit Craw Crook very nicely.
Craws - ✅
Crook - ✅ ....a bend in the Tyne for the initiated. Even the river is portrayed !
(Cromer means crow pond)

@CrowMonthly You may be aware of the flag of Cromer Town Council. (I live there, that's how I know about it!)

@JHCPAL I hear 'spelk' lots. I would always say 'spelk' instead of 'splinter'. Teenagers still say 'spelk' in the north-east. It hasn't died out.
English
Spelk.
The word that started me off. A big language account said it was obsolete. No I thought & off I went. The word that always provokes a response. The one that, based on 2 years doing this, is THE word that identifies a region & the people from it - however far-flung. 🧵

@EPERiley classic art photography says one shoild put the boat toward the centre right but that is a better view balanced with left backdrop all photography is personal choice and ability to compose

View of Warkworth Castle and River Coquet estuary from Amble harbour this morning.

@KenCunn55085606 I didn't notice that until we got home. It was the 'Geordie Tapas' that amused me .
English
@EPERiley It's the 'mystery sausages' I'd be more worried about tbh. Looks dodgy af.

James Amour, back shift Overman at New Hartley Colliery in January 1862. Trapped underground along with his 14 year old son & 197 others until they died from carbon monoxide poisoning. James held a prayer meeting underground whilst waiting to be rescued. We know this as he scratched details on a tin that was found with his body. This pre-1862 picture is one of the earliest if not the earliest photo known of a colliery official.
