About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Tynemouth, North Tyneside, United Kingdom

Find out who I am on my website at www.kathheth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk. I will be 74 in August 2012. I put my feet up occasionally after I've done a lot of walking but I continue to lead an active life doing what I want when I want. My daughter, Lynn, and I are bosom buddies enjoying each other's company on outings and shopping trips. Walking along the beach is heavy going on feet and legs but a stroll along the bank top fills in a pleasant afternoon. I haven't done much photography since I photographed some famous ships as they sailed into, or out of, the mouth of the Tyne. However, not all of those shown here were taken by me including the latest one of the Swan Hunter dock and cranes being shipped out to India. I have updated my family news section to include details of how I recently became a widow. And also how losing her Dad has affected Lynn. Hopefully, I will continue to update my blog frequently from now on.

Drama on the Tyne

April 2009

Tyneside's Swan Hunters cranes and floating dock have been loaded onto a huge ocean-going barge and sent off to India. For more information and spectacular images of the dramatic operation go to BBC-Tyne-History-Photos-Moving the iconic cranes. These are well worth seeing.

In high winds today a North Sea Ferry broke free of her moorings on the River Tyne and collided with a decommissioned oil rig. No damage was done.
