North Waters' my view



 


Been watching the' North Waters' harsh watch, tough TV, but authentic and real
Characters tough, further northern ,male dominated.
Depicts Hull my home town along with Whaling industry in poor light,
..hey any excuse to knock the north
That was life as it was lived back in the `good ole days`.
Some aspects we grew up with, harsh conditions for those in peril.
long periods away.
uncertainty.
abuse by owners still went on till the recent end of trawling industry.
Visits to Whaling museum on chilly autumn Sunday
Polar bear...kayak..whale Bone's...noises of whales
Size of ships now docked one as heritage centre
Costs of death for family's, struggles for women that followed.
It oh so different now, but then again its pretty much same at present.

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"
