Indeed they are – at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland. This ‘Couple’ by Sean Henry has been standing on a platform on a breakwater gazing out at sea since about 2008. At any moment of the day you’ll be able to spot passers-by gazing at them.
For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
A long time since I gazed that way. Happy weekend, Margaret! Still got company? 🤗🩷

Ah, you have a different sea to gaze at! Nop, we waved goodbye to each other yesterday 😦 . Next week though is house-sitting in Shropshire for friends.

Agh, I’ve been to Newbiggin a couple times and I always find these the creepiest things ever! I think it’s the replica version on land so when I looked out to sea, I thought they’d moved…

I don’t knw about the ones on land. Yes, there is something a little creepy about them, for some reason.

True – that’s why we haven’t been for ages! Chris’s cousin used to work there and we would drop by to see him, but that was decades ago!

It must indeed be a pretty resilient piece. It’s quite exposed out there. Thanks Rebecca!

That’s a pretty long conversation. Do they get a fresh coat every now and then? Of paint?
