it is a region set apart from the rest of the north,

let alone the rest of England;

fiercely proud, often parodied,

sometimes insular and over-romanticised

- and suspicious of a capital 300 miles away

where many still trek for work.

 

Stretching across mountain, moor, national park

and spectacular countryside from the Tweed to the Tees,

with a dialect in its heartland that many cannot fathom

- it has a distinctive heritage and culture

going back to St Cuthbert,

an emerging patron saint who underpinned

the identity of the old Northumbrian kingdom.

Lucian Freud's Naked Portrait 2002 shows

With rounded belly

and a discreet little fold of skin beneath her right breast,

this is a magnificent, voluptuous, flesh-and-blood Moss,

hardly the wispy, ethereal creature

she often appears in photographs.

 

Her face recedes into the background

and her calves are prominently displayed;

this is Moss as few have ever seen her.

GAZA (Reuters) -

Israeli troops shot dead four Palestinian gunmen

who were infiltrating Israel's border with northern Gaza,

witnesses said, as the army continued a wide-scale offensive

in the area to weed out rocket launchers.

A military source said soldiers had received earlier information

about militants who planned to infiltrate into southern Israel

and carry out an attack in a town in the area.

Troops spotted four gunmen wearing explosives belts

cutting through the border fence,

and killed them, the source said.
