To be honest I should have gone to a Football match; Hartlepool v Stamford in the FA Cup after all I am a season ticket holder. Excuses? Well had a bad chest and a cold and thought I would be cabined up all day. I knew I wasn't up to standing for 2 hours or so on a bitterly cold day. Turns out they did something they haven't done for over 200 days ... won a home game. They won 3-0 without me. Well done Pools. In the end Seaham was the destination. Down in the Marina had a pancake and coffee then ventured to the end of the building and had a sandwich and another coffee. The cafe is called The Lookout and was crammed with people trying to get a good shot of the waves crashing over Seaham Pier. |
