Loved it, so refined, and such English spoken so proper like, with Elgar in the background!
I found the whole piece fascinating, but the Amble part took me back to the days of king coal and walking to Dovecote Street school from the Bottom End, over the railway track, watching for the trains coming, and then under the railway bridge on Percy Street by the British Legion. And the railway line running up past the end of Dovecote Street, it was all part of the place. (not to forget leapfrogging over the capstans on the pier)
