We had Robson Green pop in today who thoroughly enjoyed our famous Fish Platter 👌😁
Pity the sun wasn't shining for him, but he loved the experience in one of our outdoor dining huts.

Jupiter and Venus captured by Dan Monk at Holy Island last night! 😍

The skies are looking mostly clear again tonight in the northeast. If you look outside right now and look west, you should be able to see the two bright planets following the sunset.

If you’re based in the U.K. don’t forget to tune in to Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes on BBC2 this evening 6:30pm - I had a wonderful time strolling around one of my favourite places in the world, Holy Island, talking with Robson about our shared love of the North East and what it means to us. This was followed by a mindful walking session at Budle Bay with the fabulous people from Strolls With Poles - it’s a great series, very much a love letter to the region, so I would recommend you check the other episodes out on iPlayer, too! It was an added pleasure to meet lovely Zoila Brozas and the whole production team - thanks for such a warm welcome ☺️

Even the folks down the harbour are bringing good cheer for Christmas. And look at that moon at sunset yesterday. How much more magical could Amble be this winter?

And take all your rubbish home!

Let the wildlife be wild this bank holiday, by leaving gates as you find them and keeping dogs under control.

‘A stranger’s kindness can mean the world to someone during a vulnerable moment’ 💙

It was just a normal day for lorry driver Darren as he drove along the A19 past Moor Farm roundabout recently until he looked up and spotted a distressed man standing at the side of a bridge.

Worried, Darren safely pulled over and dialled 999 to report his concern.

Emergency services confirmed they were on their way but this was no longer just an average day and Darren couldn’t drive off and leave the man alone.

Darren made his way to the bridge and cautiously approached the lone man, engaging with him and convincing him to come away from the edge.

We arrived moments later to find Darren and the man sat together, away from harm.

Appropriate care and support was given to the man, but not before Darren reached out further and offered to keep in touch with him.

🗣️ Darren said: “There was no way I could have kept on driving, I just did what I felt was right and I’m pleased I was able to help. We’ve all got to look out for each other.”

Though we were just minutes away – minutes matter in situations like this and Darren’s kind intervention could have been crucial.

Though it’s not always appropriate for a member of the public to intervene, a stranger’s kindness can mean the world to someone during a vulnerable moment.

Thank you Darren for your quick-thinking but most of all, for the kindness you were able to show a person who needed some in that moment. You’re a credit to our area.

If you see someone in a similar situation, in distress or danger and believe they need help, call 999 ☎📱
