    Hi Lee,

    Great site!

    I have been reading your site with some nostalgia and fond reminiscence. I was brought up in Staithes during the 1960/70s and spent my childhood there. I remember vividly Lifeboat day each year particularly the disco which seemed to end the weekend off. The weather was always sunny. I left Staithes to move to London in 1979 to train to be a mental health nurse. I moved back to the north east in 1988 and now work towards tackling the stigma and discrimination of mental illness. Much of my work has been in the media, TV and radio, ( you may have read my columns in the Evening Gazette?) and I have been priveleged to have worked alongside Ruby Wax on the BBC Headroom campaign. I never forget my roots though.

    I wrote my autobiography last year which recalls fond memories of growing up in Staithes. I enjoy visiting the village when I get the chance with my children and all the memories come flooding back. Sadly work prevents me from coming through regularly. I hope to get through for Lifeboat day this year as it’s been about 30 years since I was there on Lifeboat day!!! Best Wishes, Lawrence.
