And you're right - I do look back on that unnatural division with memories of the unexpressed hurt and confusion I felt at the time. My old friends shared a different school life from the one I endured - surrounded by rich boys from the city of Hull's western suburbs.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-80947870099862328932012-06-04T13:15:19.024+01:002012-06-04T13:15:19.024+01:00Do you think your father's being headmaster of...Do you think your father's being headmaster of the village school had anything to do with your passing of the eleven-plus exam? Not that you couldn't do it on your own, of course. That's not what I meant at all.<br /><br />It's a shame that you lost all of your boyhood chums in one fell swoop, though. How traumatic was that?rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-59305109513801621332012-06-04T13:13:08.384+01:002012-06-04T13:13:08.384+01:00HELEN When you visit Whitby I'm guessing you m...HELEN When you visit Whitby I'm guessing you might also be staying there a few days. Buy some jet jewellery. See the Captain Cook statue. Eat at The Magpie Cafe - best fish and chips in the world. Climb the 199 steps. Visit the abbey. Visit Robin Hood's Bay and Staithes. Sing "Waltzing Matilda" with Tony on a street corner with a hat in front of you for donations.<br />SHOOTING PEE Been to Vegas and Cape Town but not been to Whitby? Shame on you! But pick dry weather and avoid summer weekends if you can. It is a unique place in my humble view. And thanks for the Caedmon's Song tip.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-58836720255671195242012-06-04T10:40:08.751+01:002012-06-04T10:40:08.751+01:00Well there is a shared memory.

We too visited Malham on a geography field trip, with its tarn. limestone pavements, glacial moraine's etc.<br /><br />I've also had a hankering to visit Whitby after reading Caedmon's Song by Peter Robinson which is largely set in the town in 1987. <a href="http://shootingparrots.co.uk/2010/07/13/caedmons-song" rel="nofollow">I recommend it</a> if you enjoy your thrillers psychological.Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-26264289361927472732012-06-04T08:01:23.495+01:002012-06-04T08:01:23.495+01:00Ah Whitby is on my list for my nexy visit.

We once even saw a group of school children disappearing down a pothole on Blea Moor in the Yorkshire Dales - how exciting would that be for a kid? All we can do here is look where explorers carved a notch in a tree before they went off to die in the desert or the termite infested ruin of some 100 year old settler's house.<br />Hope you are enjoying the Jubilee holidays. We are getting great coverage of the events here.<br />cheersHelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.com
