The Year I Left The Village I Was Born in

I was born in North Seaton Colliery and have very happy memories of my childhood and all the people who were part of my life. I left at 16 to work in Newcastle, the beach was perfect, never have I had such happy times, picking winkles and fishing for dabs.  Brenda Hudson as was.

RE: RE: The Year I Left The Village I Was Born in

I too remember leaving the village where I was born. It was a dark time, when the evil Dragon Lord would make all of the villagers parade naked in front of his minions so that they might look upon us and laugh at the size of our wedding tackle.
One night, I snuck away with my best friend, Hildebrand my Irish Setter. We stole through the night and pushed on for several days before finding the hut of the mountain master. He was an ancient and powerful wizard who knew the game of the Dragon Lord.
We begged him for shelter and he turned us away.
Several weeks later, I was forced to eat Hildebrand, and was never the same again.
Oh how I miss Choppington.
