I definitely think we are forgotten about in Northumbria. I was watching a show about the UK’s best garden recently and when the covered the “North” the highest they went was Manchester and Yorkshire. They just seemed to forget about the huge stretch of country between there and Scotland. Then again I’m not sure I want too many folk flocking to our beautiful idyllic countryside and spoiling the peace and quiet!
Yes we always have a laugh when they talk about the north on the telly and actually they mean Manchester. I guess that is north but not the REAL north! But like you say, maybe it is better that way...

I did my reflexology training in Manchester and used to laugh when they would say they lived in the North when I’d driven 3 hours south to get there!
