Hello all, we're back!
Lovely weekend in Whitby, but the phone signal wasn't great so I struggled to get online.
We had a lovely evening arrival on Friday, eating dinner with the rest of the non-cycling party, then managed not to repeat our mistake of last year, which was to accidentally stay up until 2am chatting. We wanted to get up early this year to meet the cycling party at the cafe. So we were in bed before midnight.
And woken at 3am. One of the cycling party was struggling (having had the lurgy earlier in the week), and we were needed to go out and rescue them. It had to be us, because the other car of the party was blocked in at the house by some idiot who'd parked on double yellows outside the gate - our car was parked up the road in the FREE car park...
So we drove back over to just the other side of Pickering, picked up the rider and trike and brought her back to Whitby. There was then time to get an hour of rest before it was time to get up and wander down to the cafe...
A full breakfast restored us all, and it was back to the house to doze the morning away. After lunch, we all went our separate ways, NT and I wandered over the river and up to the Abbey, for tea and cake in the cafe, and then back down to look in some of the Goth shops, and admire the zillions of steampunk costumes being worn. Then it was fish and chips for tea. This morning we had a big old full English breakfast, and wandered out for a bit of a scamper on the beach, before all heading home.
It was a bit blowy! But we managed to dodge the worst of the wet over the weekend.
Shattered now. Fortunately we were able to bring home a load of bits and pieces of leftover food, so dinner will be easy....
Hello Bob!
