Not an entirely random name for a blog, but close. I am not a goat herder - in the usual meaning of that word; nor does the Urban Dictionary definition apply to me either (for a decade at least): an extremely drunk male who having lost all self-respect and standards, loses his powers of discrimination when pulling females. It is said that Gateshead derives its name from a settlement near an early Tyne crossing where goats once roamed. The goats are long gone, but me - I like to roam these parts - or rather run - exploring new places, rediscovering old ones in and around Gateshead and Newcastle when I'm out jogging. This blog is a collection of my photos, thoughts, observations, rants, loves and hates about Newcastle and Gateshead.

North East dialect greetings cards

I was in Fenwicks today and spotted a great range of cards from www.geordiemugs.co.uk. They have a variety of greetings -  all in the local dialect. Great. I've never liked buying birthday or Mother's Day cards for me mam that say "mum" or "mother" -  it's M A M, mam!  Well done geordiemugs for getting this right.
