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.

Shieldfield graffiti

Spotted this interesting mural on the side of a house when out for run today.  I'm not sure of the area but it's just beyond the flats at Shieldfield adjacent to a running track.

Swing bridge getting a lick of paint



This is just the undercoat but I think I prefer the lam posts to be grey rather than red. 


Now back to its normal colours - a little bid of red and white in the heart of the Toon.
