Hello from South of England

[the_bertrum]

Welcome from the North of England.

I traveled up your way with my little caravan, all the way to Berwick upon Tweed.  Holy Island and Hadrian's wall were on my bucket list.  Nice and quiet that far up.

It is very lovely up there, I'm a little further south on Teesside (less lovely).  My plan is to move to the wilds of Northumberland once my Daughter flies the nest.

North-Umber-land  so it's 'brownish' and north-ish ?   still getting to grips with the naming of these regions....
and is Tees-side somewhere golf happens ?

Teesside is literal, the side of the Tees, which is a river.
Northumberland is Saxon/Danish, from the mid-hundreds AD  North Umbre Land, land north of the Umbre, which is now called the Humber and is another river.  The Hunber is over a hundred miles south of the south edge of Northumberland now though, because the Anglo-Saxons were very effective at pushing the Danes back so their Kingdom of Northumberland got a lot smaller than it started out.
