The National Glass centre in Sunderland. Unfortunately the building was damaged in a storm in late October 2023 and the river walk has been closed since then. Similarly, the always popular restaurant and shop have not been open. This comes on top of various defects found in the building last year which have put the future of the centre in doubt. Costs for repair or replacement were estimated to be between £45-70 million: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/mar/05/outcry-sunderland-national-glass-centre-shut

The frozen main lake of Exhibition Park with the Wylam brewery in the background. The park dates back to the Jubilee Exhibition of 1887 and is part of the larger Town Moor on the edge of central Newcastle. PIP#1: Another view of the lake.

Tough times for small birds! A fluffed up Wren perched in snow covered Ivy. With temperatures as low as -9C locally, it is amazing how these small birds manage to survive.

The Red House is a large sandstone sculpture of an 'open house', with various pieces carved into the stone, as well as further pieces scattered around the area. There is also a short story associated with the art work: www.chazbrenchley.co.uk/redhousera.html

The sculpture 'High Tide' by Craig Knowles and Colin Wilbourn in Sunderland Harbour. The sculpture consists of seven concrete bowls representing the different lunar phases and was built in 2001.

An outbreak of colder weather in mid December brought significantly colder temperatures to the area, with lows of -9C on some nights. Unlike a few other areas in Britain, there has been relatively little snow, but a dusting last night added a nice touch to the beach at Sunderland harbour, with a Cumolonimbus cloud passing in the distance.

Two of the three Roker Pods in the snow at the north end of Roker beach. Built in 2012, the three pods host a cafe as well as an art space. More information on the design and construction can be found at www.art-gene.co.uk/roker-pods
