If you’ve ever been to Tynemouth on a sunny day — or even a wild and windy one — you’ll know just how special it is. There’s something about the salt in the air, the sound of waves rolling in, and the buzz of people walking dogs, carrying surfboards, or tucking into chips on the seafront. It’s a place that captures your heart.
And for me, it really did.
“I’ve always been in love with Tynemouth since I moved to the North East for uni. I have many memories of walking our late dog and seeing his tail wag on Longsands Beach is a memory I will never lose. BBQs on the beach on a sunny day, boot camps and sea dipping are some of my favourite things to do in Tynemouth, not to mention the amazing choice of food and drinks on Front Street! I hope this candle will invoke your good memories from being down on the North East coast.”
That’s why I’ve created Tynemouth Longsand’s — a sea salt and sage candle that smells just like a fresh day at the beach. Some of you may remember this scent from our CBKAdventures collaboration. This is the same beautiful fragrance, now with a new name and label that celebrates where my heart truly is.
This one’s for the paddleboarders, the dog walkers, the sea dippers, and everyone who’s ever ended up with sand in their socks after a spontaneous trip to the coast.
We’re planning to launch Tynemouth Longsand’s next month — and what better place than the Tynemouth Food Festival? Keep your eyes peeled for sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes making videos, and more stories from the sand as we count down to the launch.
Hope to see you there!
