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.

Smokey Joe's - Gone



It looks like this second-hand shop has now closed.  As I was passing this Pilgrim Street shop, the other day, I noticed that the sign had gone and it was being emptied.  Now the shutters are down and all evidence that the shop existed has now gone.  I never ever went in there, but its a bit sad to see it go.

Smokey Joe second hand shop

I like this shop on Pilgrim Street, pass it most days, but have never bought anything though. I'm amazed at all the stuff that's crammed in there.

I took this photo a while back - quite like it.
