What a lovely article.I was interested in your take on the advantages of incomers & gentrification.I know you’ve been up here to northymberlad(why not come next year!?) and what you said about tourists enabling the existence of these small coastal towns struck a chord!Gentrification & tourism has come late to Northumberland,& it does bring advantages,but in high summer when you cant park the car or move for visitors wandering around,it is hard to think of the advantages,instead muttering about all the disadvantages!I shall try & be more tolerant in future!!
