@BorderReiver73 both my great grandparents hailed from Northumbria and my mothers maden name is from there as well and still have family there i have a border's blood in my veins. But live north of the border but Northumberland is in my heart.

I am not a Northumbrian by birth, but my ma was a Scotswood road born Geordie, and her family hails from Rothbury. I walked over the Simonside hills (and the Cheviots) countless times. Heard Kathryn Tickell perform in Rothbury. Life does not get better and money cannot buy it.
