If it doesn't move...

...whitewash it...
Everything on the Tyne looking wonderful in the sun for the Great Exhibition of the North! Met friends at the Baltic and enjoyed all 5 floors - as well as the Kittiwakes on the ledges outside, complete with chicks ;) 
Grey's monument had been turned into a giant Maypole - see extra - and it's all change at the Laing Gallery too... we need another visit!
