This lorry we followed from Pickering in this photo he is taking the notorious 'Blue Bank'. The sight of fodder moving around the countryside, either on lorries or by tractor is a very familiar one at the moment. He sprayed branches and straw all over the road and so we kept a distance.
The rooftops of Whitby as seen from the top floor flat my daughter had rented, which was large and immaculate. Unfortunately, the long flights of stairs had Lucy flummoxed, the lady in the first floor flat brought out some ham to tempt her with, but in the end my daughter carried her up (and vowed she would never do it again).
Lunch at the Abbey Wharf restaurant, apparently a factory of Burberrys fifteen years ago, which accounts for its loftiness. As this building is in the Shambles, a difficult place to get to through the swarms of people on Church Street. We are all looking away because it is Lillie snapping away, she always fills my camera with shots,,,
Then we went down to the beach ;) muddy and filled with seaweed, children complaining about their shoes, but Lucy stood in the water admiring the slow movement of the water.
Looks a lovely day out. Glad you enoyed it.
ReplyDeleteMy son and his wife go to Saltburn a lot. They went yesterday evening -
had a meal in an Italian restaurant didn't get homeuntil nearly midnight.
Again on a train, I started talking to somebody who owned a gallery in Saltburn and I have always meant to go, it is not too far up the coast.
DeleteHappy memories of our Whitby days-out when we were staying in Scarborough. What fabulous views near Pickering (can still remember sitting in the Castle grounds eating an ice cream . . .)
ReplyDeleteThe moors are just beginning to turn, luckily they have not gone up in flames, could be because they are managed by burning Jennie. Never walked along the promenade at Scarborough, must do it some day.
