Northern post that was to last for 8 years.

 The position came around very quickly and it was "completely start a project with no previous youth work. A blank sheet."
Its was across series of Churches, but based in old night clud style provision.
strong political, socialist traits.(Like my first youth work post).
was Apprehensive for these reasons.
Nic, Cyril, and David all good guys here l was at home. Keith became practically very supportive
`Christine and Bill` married couple very quickly showed me such support, and even today enter there names next to title gave them in 2007 `encourages`.



All around, in this blighted area where such beautiful lovely people, despite the harshness and the very visible poverty.






Poverty that issue it been like a `friend all my life`. Evident most of my practice. Despite limited efforts poverty not been something addressed. Indeed it got worse, till in  2019 much more evident  than when myself recognised as professional issue in 1985.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
