Jobs elsewhere, relocating to 'nicer' areas, it has all taken its toll, only wanting to settle down in one quiet spot when we get older. Still it is sad they are moving on, and we will be able to visit them, it is about 100 mile journey.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-33526052416277090592013-07-06T10:25:57.079+01:002013-07-06T10:25:57.079+01:00Hi Jennie, just about to write up the visit, yes w...Hi Jennie, just about to write up the visit, yes we found the Rillaton Cup alongside another crumpled one. <br />As for tea, I suppose the 'convenience' of teabags outweighs the return to loose tea, but it is definitely much better and we should have the choice.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-18592476230239761642013-07-06T10:23:04.241+01:002013-07-06T10:23:04.241+01:00Hi Weaver of Grass, Whitby is a strangely wonderf...Hi Weaver of Grass, Whitby is a strangely wonderful place, we don't go in summer because of the tourists, it really does get crowded but the Goths are very interesting. Yes it is work related the move to Tormorden, they need jobs both of them, but again I find Tormorden slightly dismal....thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-91406968530982500302013-07-05T17:32:06.318+01:002013-07-05T17:32:06.318+01:00I do hope you had a good day at the BM in the cool...I do hope you had a good day at the BM in the cool. I bet the tube was horrible though. When we were in London last year in the excruciating heat, we discovered that the North London Line overground trains are air conditioned which was fantastic. We almost didn't get off. <br /><br />Sorry about the relocation. I've been a serial mover over the years in a way that my grandparents would never have dreamed of. They were in the same house after the war for over fifty years. My younger friends don't seem bothered by moving at all and find their sense of security elsewhere obviously!Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-16463503271765451422013-07-05T15:37:17.962+01:002013-07-05T15:37:17.962+01:00That is sad news, about your family relocating fro...That is sad news, about your family relocating from Whitby to Todmorden, as I know you enjoyed having them close by whilst you were at the cottage. <br /><br />I trust you had a good time at the British Museum (says she enviously!) and I hope that you located the Rillaton Cup. And that you get the longed-for Fish Pie tonight! Sounds like you have had too much of a good thing with the meals out 3 in a row.<br /><br />I am sure the young pony searching for his family soon located them. These herds normally have set grazing patterns and he was obviously not paying attention when they moved on!<br /><br />As for the teabags, I read that same article and am having a cup of Earl Grey "dust" as I write! I was thinking about going back to leaf tea too, and gladly that seems to be still stocked where we shop (Morrisons).Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-91900605166191697932013-07-05T15:22:02.113+01:002013-07-05T15:22:02.113+01:00How sad to be leaving Whitby for Todmorden.

I live not too far from Whitby and have always thought it a wonderful place to live (I expect I would get tired of visitors in the Summer and Goths etc.) I hope you enjoyed your day at the BM and that you managed to find a fish pie.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
