On the flip side ...

The homecoming of the FA Cup up the A690 at the top of the hill from the Ramside Hall

Sitting in school dinners watching the Apollo moon landings

The 1970 World Cup Final - it was a beautiful sunny day outside

Sunbathing on our coalhouse roof listening to skylarks
 


FA Cup bus near the Prospect in Durham Road.

Silksworth Pit.

Going in the town hall and touching the glass around the cup later.

The 1974 FA Cup final.
 
Funny you mentioned skylarks, I always associate their sound with playing out in the fields (that used to exist round ours) in the summer.

I always seem to remember the curtains in my bedroom. They were purple and white with a strange paisley cum floral pattern in them, I would stare at them for hours when I was ill, seeing all these weird patterns.
 
walking home from trips to crimdon or durham through the countryside on a hot summers day, crackin times

Bob of that ilk brought the European cup back to Hetton one of the time Liverpool won it and I remember holding it :)

Getting a clip round the lug off your mother for getting tar on your trousers from playing on the kerbside with lolly sticks and tar that had melted under the red hot summer sun.

Walking for miles on a Sunday evening with my Dad before he went to the club knowing there would be a stop at the Olde Sweet Shop- Whickham as we got nearer home.

Chips on a Saturday, only day we didn't have a dinner.

Having none of adult life's worries.

:( never thought about those things for dozens of years.

Going to JL Thompsons shipyard for the open day to have a gander at the biggest ship built on the Wear (Ness Crusader was its name IIRC). My dad had to carry me up the gangplank cos I was bricking myself.

I am from Swalwell the knaarrs. No seriously in July/August it often melted at the road sides. Milton Road was a paticularly good spot.
Remember once on Blue Peter someone frying an egg on the pavement.
