Keep Off The Grass





I live next door to this fabulous open space. It is called The Town Moor and stretches from Newcastle city centre to Gosforth, the suburb in which I live. It is like stepping into the country if you ignore the fact that the Great North Road runs right through its centre. For the non Brits among you that is a road that runs to Scotland.

All is not as it seems with this lovely space as it is a magnet for dog owners and what they leave behind means a walk on the moor is like stepping through a mine field. We are a nation of dog lovers but does that mean we have to do this sort of thing. That poor cow is most probably sitting on one of those nasty deposits.
