Whitby for the day

After everything calmed down we made it to Whitby (and Sandsend) for the day. The picture was taken by my wife while I slept in the car! Miss all the best bits!

So glad you had a good day. If you slept your body knew what it was doing and you needed it. Magic part of the world. Aren't we lucky?

With all the press spreading liberal doses of doom and gloom for the Bank Holiday weather I couldn't believe how, on Whitby sands we had a short shower and then a whole day of warm sunshine.

Rarely go abroad because we still haven't found all the great places here and the dogs would get upset if we left them behind!

We are in Scotland visiting our younger son and wife. Glorious day yesterday. Trip up a beautiful glen. No one else around. Son and daughter used their canoe to explore an island. Perfect.

I am glad the weather was good for you all...one of my friends who has a lung condition is in Whitby this weekend and was worried about how the wind would affect her.

I love Sandsend and often used to go there when we lived in the area. Have they started work on the new potash mine yet?

Wwe were ready for arctic conditions but there was no wind, only one shower and I had to change my coat to something more suited to summer than winter!

Sorry, don't know about a potash mine - we did the beach (well, better half did while I snored) and the Hart Inn for a bit of late lunch.

Hello Y-not, lovely picture. I come from up that way actually have marital family in Whitby. Have a picture in the archives somewhere of my dad and I on the beach picking cockles or was it muscles. Have been back since then for a holiday with my friends and visit family at Great Ayton,

Lovely part of my world - reminds me of my childhood at the coast - Whitby seems to have avoided many of the modern day traits (thankfully) of fast paced living.

Hi Katie, I have a picture of Roseberry Topping on my wall at home. I bought an old photo and frame once ....it was of Captain Cooks cottage and spent ages trying to find the actual building...only to find it was dismantled and sent to Australia in 1934.

My sister-in-law is buried in Stokesley Church yard, and some of my husbands family were called Cook but don't know if they were distant relatives. It is a shame that should an historic building was sent to Australia but in them days we were a nation not an island, plus in centuries to come that part of history will survive even if our island is underwater.

That's the joys of mixing COPD & Sleep Apnoea together (and then having forty winks without a mask on - left feeling like my lungs have been trampled!)

Ah well, weather was good, views amazing, great company so who cares about the lungs anyway?

y_not in reply to dall05

always planned to do what I called the Park Peaks for my 60th ... never got to do that (10 National Parks in England and wanted to do them, one a day, from 1st October ending at Scarfell Pike on 10th ... my birthday) - COPD got the better of that idea but I like to think up a new challenge every now and then ... really fancy Great Gable again .....

Hi what a lovely photo.  Whitby looks very nice.  I live by the seaside too and took the dog down yesterday for a swim (the dog not me).  I chuck the ball in and she swims out to get it.  She's so funny.  x

Oh, started reading and having visions of you doing the doggy paddle ... then found that you sent the dog instead .... where's your sense of adventure! 😄

in reply to y_not

Tony behave yourself :)   I haven't much sense of adventure I'm afraid,  and also I can't swim...  x

y_not profile image
y_not in reply to

No sense of adventure? But we crawl out of bed every day (well, most of them anyway) ... and so the adventure begins !!!

The most exciting thing is starting the day and never knowing how/where it will end - how much more adventure could a person want?

😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

in reply to y_not

:)  Well I assume some people leap out of bed eager to face the day and these are the adventures ones.   I almost literally crawl out reluctantly and sit there for hours on my lappy and watching telly before I can get myself motivated to do very much.  x

y_not profile image
y_not in reply to

Ah you miss my point, sense of adventure: will it be coffee (hope so) or tea (yuck!), poached or fried eggs will she turn the heating up or claim its mild today and turn it off- oh, the adventures are endless!

in reply to y_not

:) Tony that's as far as my adventurous spirit takes me too...  xx
