Middleton Beach,Hartlepool.
1960 -1982 ...ish
My Father and I would spend many hours together on Middleton Beach.
We would usually go at first light
As we drove back home,he often said "There you are we've had the best part of the day." as on many occasions the early morning sunny sky would cloud over.
Best Part of the Day.
Early morning - up and out,
Middleton bound - I'd no doubt,
In the van and on our way,
What a way to start the day,
Finding coins and cooper nails,
Picture all the ships with sails,
Sometimes dig bait -
for going fishing,
Everyday I would be wishing,
We never really had to talk,
Just relax - enjoy the walk,
Then in the van - and on our way
"We had the best part of the day"
Beach Buoy
(Happy Birthday Dad.)
