Dereliction on the quayside...

...but gentrification next door - see extra!
Work is obviously being carried out on this site, and in the extra you can see the sort of development that has already been completed. We're looking forward to seeing what's next for North Shields...
A pleasant visit to see Auntie Joyce today - the weather has been so awful that she hasn't been out much recently. She made the most of the day - a spot of retail therapy at Silverlink, and a tasty lunch out!
