MY FRIEND, ROBERT EMERSON.
I was nominated, the world through my eyes.
SEVEN. Yes, I DO make portraits, I love good people and here was one of them.
MY FRIEND, ROBERT EMERSON.
This is Robert, my friend, who is no more, I just heard he died last month (that was in 2007)!
All his life, except for the war, he lived in Flamborough, born into a proud family of fishermen; he was also a life-long volunteer of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
He eyes shone when he told me that all the boats belonging to him and his family, had lovely names like ‘Madeleine Isabella’ and their signature is a white rose, the Yorkshire symbol! Now there is a boat called:ROBERT EMERSON.
It is a tradition that each fishing places gives work to the whole family, they have their own symbols and their own cable-knitting patterns in the jerseys... so if an accident happened, they would be recognised!
He still went out to inspect his crab pots every early morning, well in his eighties, the women cleaned, prepared and dressed the crabs, most for the fishmongers on markets(which he delivered himself), the rest was for the back of his van, parked in his place at Smuggler’s Cove, where he sold them, and that’s how we met.
I love fresh crabs and he loved people
I remember the times we sat together, chatting and laughing, wonderful man.
I still find it difficult to go back... We miss him still!
