Nice video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!

My Grandfather was originally from South Shields, then settled here, in Northern Ireland after the war. My aunt, (his daughter, my mum's sister) then moved there about 40 years ago, along with one of her friends from here, and her cousin. We used to go and visit her during the summer for our holidays during the mid 80s to early 90s. I loved going to South Shields but haven't been there for so many years now, I really would love to go back again.

Hello John, just seen your video. My sister has moved near to Seaham and visits twice a week, so nice to se where she has been talking about. I guess from your 'handle@ John the Bassman you are a fisherman. I am looking to visit my sister and Seaham this year and wondered where fishing is allowed. Looking forward to seeing more videos on youtube.
@johnbaxter13 Жыл бұрын
The Bassman handle comes from my bass guitar playing, and brass band bass playing. Fishing is allowed, there is a angling club on the front who has access to the piers( weather permitting), but beach fishing is popular. Check out Seaham Sea Angling Club
