That’s what these people were doing in these reminders of Hartlepool and East Durham people relaxing in times gone by.
So why not brew up your memories of the past and take a look through our nostalgic reminders.
Were you pictured with friends at a coffee shop or community centre? Maybe you were holding a coffee morning at your school.
Whatever the occasion was, why not see if you are in the picture in these retro scenes?
