It’s me burfday! We hopped on Zippy and travelled the 20 miles from Whitby down to Scarborough.
Scarboro’ is a nice little town, far less commercialised than Whitby and all the better for it in my opinion.
You have the north bay which has next to no shops and is very quiet…
and the south bay which is the town itself and where they have tat on sale but no where near as much as Whitby
the beach at Scarborough
We had a leisurely stroll along the beach and on the front, a ride on a funicular, a spot of lunch then a quick trip to see the castle.
Scarborough castle
as an added bonus they had Anne Brontë’s grave in a corner of a car park
The cultural bit done it was back to Whitby for some chips & curry sauce along with a couple of buttered barms and a can of ice cold lager; the perfect burfday treat 😀
Next stop was Harrogate. We were due to meet a friend in Betty’s tea shop but no sooner had we landed than Cfor was out of the door and into a hedge. Then vans started arriving and dogs started barking and children were shouting…
the little fucker was hiding away in there for 4½ hours!
I missed Betty’s waiting for the little swine to return…
Julie enjoyed herself
that doesn’t look much like tea!
Sunday and we were going to make an early start heading home via Walsall but wouldn’t you know it His Lordship went back to his hedge for another 3 hours.
M25/M3 junction virtually traffic free so it’s clear so the economy is still tits up.
Back home Cfor needed a rest after all his adventures
The heat in Reigate is deeply unpleasant, we’re just sat around sticking to everything waiting for some thunderstorms; what I’d give for some Scottish smirr!
At long last! I can’t make my mind up if this is stair rods or cats & dogs
