In response to: To Wave or Not To Wave
Following her earlier musing on the neighbourly etiquette of waving, Mim Robson has been hearing from readers far and wide, each with their own thoughts on the subtle art of the wave. Messages touched on everything from unspoken social rules to curious differences in how people choose to greet, depending on mood, setting, or even clothing. Together, the replies paint a picture of how something as simple as a raised hand can open up a whole world of questions about connection, confidence, and the tiny decisions that shape our daily interactions.
The man behind the master musicians: Ernie Scott
From surviving a wartime bombing as a baby to welcoming world-class musicians into North Shields pubs and churches, Ernie Scott’s story is one of quiet resilience and extraordinary dedication. Honoured by the Queen and cherished by his community, his lifelong commitment to classical music has brought the world to Tyneside — and left an indelible mark on the town he calls home.
I Love Trees
A quiet love letter to trees, this reflective essay explores why they captivate us so deeply. From childhood shelter and shared memories to fallen giants and changing landscapes, trees become markers of time, place and self. As familiar trunks topple and iconic trees are lost, the author reflects on grief, continuity and renewal—reminding us that trees are more than scenery. They are companions, storytellers and living links between past, present and what still grows.
