Tyne & Wear Archives & Museum director Keith Merrin, who features in this edition talking about the return of the Lindisfarne Gospels to the North East. And I was struck by some of his quotes, which emphasise the incredible history and symbolism of the manuscript.
They’re only here from mid-September until early December, and I’d encourage everyone - even if you’ve had the pleasure of seeing them before - to head to Newcastle’s Laing Art Gallery and peer through a window to a world that helped make the North East what it is today. The connectivity element of the historic text forms a central strand in another of our features, this time with Phil Forster, who, as managing director at Teesside International Airport, is rolling out plans to make the site fly high again.
And talking of notable change, we delve into the world of sport, speaking to Judith McMinn, founder of County Durham’s Rezon.
