We had been invited to a wedding reception on Saturday on the East Yorkshire Coast at Whitby. I know that you all love a trip to the seaside, so come along and wander with me. We managed a fabulous day and the weather was great!
So that's where you put people who are having arguments we don't want to hear! Let's build one for the politicians. I don't think I can stand our electioneering until November. But WHITBY -- just the place to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the seaside or walk off a few pounds up all those steps. I have never been to the abbey though I have been to Whitby many times. It must have been all those steps that put me off.
Whitby has special significance for NZers because of the Captain Cook connection. I enjoyed ambling there for a couple of days in winter years ago. I especially remember that my pyjamas matched the bed cover in the hotel!
English seaside at it's best - we used to spend holidays in a caravan at Flamborough Head, crabbing and sheltering from the rain...Whitby seemed quite exotic by comparison! x
Another place on my want to visit list. I bet the camera was stuck to your hand all day! Lovely photos. Hope the wedding went well too.
