Angel of the North, Gateshead

Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North, the UK’s most famous piece of public art, first spread its wings in February 1998. At 54m wide and 20m high, (taller than four double-decker buses and with a wingspan as big as a jumbo jet), the Angel of the North is said to be the largest angel sculpture in the world. The iconic sculpture stands on a hill at Low Eighton in Lamesley parish and is visited by 150,000 people a year. The site is promoted by NewcastleGateshead Initiative with a mission to inspire people to visit and to live, learn, work, and invest in Newcastle, Gateshead.

Standing bright red atop a hillside, the enormous statue is visible from a wider area in Newcastle. It is visible from the A1 and A167 roads at Low Fell, as well as from the East Coast Main Line. There is a small car park off Durham Road and a short walk takes you to the foot of the statue. It is free to visit and accessible all day long.

Amazing Facts:

It is believed to be the largest angel sculpture in the world Its 54-meter (175 foot) wingspan is bigger than a Boeing 757 or 767 jet It can withstand winds of more than 100 miles per hour It will last for more than 100 years Antony Gormley

Internationally renowned sculptor Antony Gormley designed the sculpture. He has exhibited work around the world and has major public works in the USA, Japan, Australia, Norway and Eire. Public work in Britain can be seen in locations as diverse as the crypt at Winchester Cathedral and Birmingham City Centre. In 1994, he won the prestigious Turner Prize and in 1997 was awarded the OBE for services to sculpture. He has exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate Gallery, British Museum, and the Henry Moore Sculpture Gallery in Leeds.

A perfect weekend gateway, the Angel of the North is just an 8-minute drive away from the Embassy Hotel.

Mother's Day 2019 in the North East

Mother's Day is just around the corner (March 31st) so I've compiled a list of things to do on Mother's Day 2019 in the North East! #nebloggers #nefollowers #BloggersTribe #GRLPOWR

Mother’s Day is just around the corner (March 31st to be exact) and this year there’s a bunch of offers on dinners, teas and staycations in the North East.

Instead of leaving it last minute to try and book up a delicious roast or rushing to the shop the night before to grab a card and a bunch of flowers, why not treat your Mam’s, Grandmother’s, Aunt’s or even a special friend to a spa break…

Morning Eye A view of the Millennium Bridge taken from the Tyne Bridge on a spring morning. I painted this in 2004 and it’s available as a limited edition giclee print with only 20 in the edition. The use of counter change brings added interest to the lovely curve of the bridge. The foreground is a mixture of chimney pots and rooftops. #millenniumbridge #newcastlegateshead #quayside #watercolour #watercolourpainting #cityscapepainting #chimneypots (at Alan Reed Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZXfShur_Us/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stories of Triumph, World Transplant Games 2019 episode 08 - Day 3 Cycling, sometimes starting is finishing

Stories of Triumph, World Transplant Games 2019 episode 08 - Day 3 Cycling, sometimes starting is finishing "Der Reifen ist geplatzt" is the first sentence I learned in German a long time ago. It means "the tire has burst" and while my bicycle tire didn't burst "Der Reifen ist platt" -- the tire is flat -- is how my day started. After leaving yesterday's time trial competition with a bruised hip and mechanical mishap, I woke up early and the first thing I noticed was that my back tire was flat. With little time to process another flat tire in three days, I walked my bike to the pickup point for the start of the World Transplant Games bicycle race knowing that the mechanics who had worked on my bike the day before would be able to help me fix it. When I had my first flat, I pumped some sealant into my tubular tires, agitated the wheel, put air into the tire and voila it worked. The second time was not a charm. The mechanics put sealant into the tire which looks like white moose for someone's hair. They inflated the tire and then I quickly took some practice laps on the course. When I came back, the tire once again went flat. It's hard to come half way across the world with a bike and have access to extra wheels. At this point, I had to look after my bruised hip so I went to the next flap in the tent to the physical therapists, which were two women from London who had volunteered to serve and pay their own way to serve at the Games. They iced me and gave me a leg massage. When I excited the tent, the mechanic offered to take me to the nearby city of Sunderland to a bike shop with better equipment to quickly and effectively help me. He said it was 10 minutes away. It was 12 noon. After 10 minutes of driving it was clear that it would be a 20-minute ride, 22-minute to be exact. Granted, I did get to see the Stadium of Light

Stadium of Light Sunderland but my bike needed repair for a bike race starting in 40 minutes. When we arrived at the bike shop, the mechanic, like the mechanic three days prior felt obligated to lambaste me for having tubular tires. "In this country, we don't use ... " After signaling his annoyance that he didn't like to look at tires like mine, he went to a shelf to look at his various sealants. After taking some time to consider which sealant would be best -- murmuring under his breath "this one is better ... oh no, but for this tire, I think this one will do the trick" he returned to begin his operation on my tired tire. 27 minutes to go. When he opened the package with valve he realized the sealant he opened was meant for a mountain bike. "Oh right, I needed the other one." 26 minutes. At this point, I handed him the sealant out of my back pocket and said, "Here, use this one. I'll take responsibility for it." The white mouse color sprayed out of the tire. "I hate this product." So much for a friendly mechanic. He had the man who brought me to the store pump up the tire and we left. While we driving back, I was calculating my arrival (12.55) but with traffic I had to keep moving back my arrival time which turned out to be 12.57. I jumped out the car and ran to put on my helmet and shoes while the mechanic put my tire on. As I whisked it away, the chain got stuck ... again and the mechanic rushed over to get the chain back on. I arrived at the start line in time to see that the previous race had one lap to go. I made it. Once the previous race ended, I quickly set my goals. Stay with the first group. I didn't notice that I had no warmup time but I figured I could stay with the leading group. 1 minute to go. I reached down to touch my bike tire. It was soft. 3-2-1. I got in my pedals quickly and made it into the first group before the left turn descended and then I felt the softness of my back tire. It felt mushy while I was suddenly going 30k. Still I kept up till the first small punchy climb but during the climb it was obvious that the low tire pressure affected my climbing. I felt 10 pounds heavier. Change of plans: "complete one lap before my tire went totally flat." When I made it to the end of the first lap, I stopped briefly to check the tire pressure. It was lower but it was still rideable. New goal: "Finish three laps." After three laps, I repeated stopping, checking for air pressure, and continuing. New goal: "What is a number of laps I would like to finish that is meaningful? Nine I told myself. It was half of 18, my favorite number. At lap 6, my American teammate yelled out to ask about how many gears I had. "11" I shouted. At the end of my 7th lap, my friend Tim Hartman from Holland help up his long arm with a tire. He and his Dutch friends stopped me and proceeded to put a new tire on my back wheel. I immediately noticed a difference going downhill but uphill the shifting creaked across the teeth. Still, I was at least "rolling" and so at the end of every lap, I decided to stand while climbing the final straightaway toward the finish line as a way of thanking my Dutch friends and my American teammate. I was also appreciative of an Irishman, American supporters, who cheered each passing lap. They had supported me while I rode on a flat tire and now that I could dig a little more, I was going to show my appreciation. Toward the final two laps, I developed some rhythm. During my ride, I thought about my donors, my parents, my preparation, what I could do better for 2020 and 2021, and the 11 months that had led up to this day. I felt decent. Yes, I was disappointed, but not angry because I just felt that I had some bad luck. As the race finished, I returned the tire to Tim, then found the winners of my age group, and got a picture with Gavin, one of my fellow competitors (see below), then climbed back in the bus for the 30-minute ride back to Newcastle.

For just £42.00 • Strong high quality canvas cushion/pillow • Concealed zip for easy washing • Hand wash cool water • Applique and free motion embroidery • Large 51 x 30 • High quality feather inner • • One of a kind design I live in Gateshead and I can still remember twenty years ago this year when The Angel Of The North arrived! I have always loved it. When driving home from a long journey the sight of it in the distance makes me feel that home is not far away.There is no doubt in my mind that the Angel is a man-but what if he had a family to keep him company on the big hill overlooking the A1 motorway. Here then is my unique take on Anthony Gormley's creation. Father (or fatha) and son. This unique cushion is handmade and no two are exactly the same.I use a technique called free motion embroidery Free motion embroidery or'thread sketching' as I like to call it is achieved by covering the feed dogs (the teeth on the needle plate which pull the fabric in a straight line) so you can effectively 'draw' with the needle by moving the fabric around. it's great in a given a rustic scribbled look and takes a bit of practice but the results can be amazing. I have combined two of my favorite techniques- thread sketching and applique. Each project takes between two and four + hours depending on the complexity of the work. Cushion size:51 x 30 cm strong cotton canvas concealed Zip Choice of either fibre or feather cushion pad included The cushion uses Kaffe Fassett Fabric and embroidered over in black. Little Angel is at an angle shouting at 'Dad' "Why Aye Fatha!" and looking up to him. Any message can be embroidered on this cushion to make it unique to you or for a special friend living away. You can have the cushion with no message- it's completely up to you!

Today we went for a big long walk in the woods with the drone, our cameras and @robbie_hinds Robs been taking him out on big long adventurous walks for the past week whilst he’s off work and I’ve been getting used to my new job, and it was so nice to finally join them! I’m so glad it’s finally autumn- the peace and quiet of these woods and the beautiful colours were just amazing! So glad to live near this kind of place! 🌲 🍂 🐶 📷 . . . #canon700d #autumn #autumnwalks #westie #anortheastadventure #newcastlelifestyle #newcastlegateshead #newcastlephotographer #newcastleupontyne #northeastlife #whereilive #dogsofnewcastle #autumncolours #autumnvibes #autumnmood #autumnphotography #autumnishere #nebloggers #lbloggersuk #forest #walkinthewoods (at Thornley Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-ljZfhkvj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10xwm85k1mce7
