... out the Skripps garage we headed for a town called Whitby where they filmed some of the programs this was a perfect place for lunch and we had Haddock and chips by the sea side.

After lunch we headed up the 200 steps to the Abbey on top of the hill , you may ask how did we know it was 200 steps but knowing Tilly she just had to know and counted every one with me talking to her all the way up getting told to shut up I'm counting ...

In 25 days, I leave the UK for Kathmandu, Nepal.
My account balance stands at £665, and I have just under £7000 of debts to call in. Hopefully, I will have all of it by the time I get on the plane.
As soon as my latest cheque clears, I am on my way into Scarborough centre to buy what will be my only worldly possessions for the next 6 months.
It is at this point that I feel the need to explain to myself how it came to be that I am getting on a plane to the other ...

... pubs in Osmotherley.

The picture is one Him & Her took on their walk - but why anyone would want to photograph snails having their lunch is beyond me!!












Got back home around 5.00pm and then they tucked me up for the night, taking care to do all they needed to settle me down for a long rest.

... who was the first European to explore much of the South Pacific, Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia. Since we'll be visiting so many of the places that he "discovered," it seemed appropriate to visit the port that he originally set sail from.

Once we landed aboard, we explored the small village and found a nice restaurant to eat at. I was exhausted from all the walking at Hadrian ...

... pantaloni fino a che non abbiamo trovato un negozietto e gli abbiamo comprato un pantalone orribile a £3,99 in emergenza!!

Così conciati, siamo andati a pranzare in un ristorante carino che affaccia sul mare ed ovviamente abbiamo mangiato pesce, l'haddock, lo stesso con cui fanno il fish and chip, ma cucinato con funghi e asparagi.

Poi tappa in un negozio che vendeva cioccolata che ...

Yes, this place really is called Fryup! We, quite by chance, stumbled upon this fine barn conversion in an isolated spot in the North Yorkshire Moors. It was a 15 minute drive to the nearest shop - perfect. The moors are dotted with public footpaths and bridleways and there were a variety of walks from the front door. It was great in April but I wouldn't have liked to contend with the narrow, steep and winding roads in frosty conditions.

... to write Dracula. I'm no big reader but I've since got myself a copy. I returned later in the day when the mist had lifted to take in the views (and get away from the crowds). Fish and chips are a must whilst in Whitby. There are plenty of seafood shops but battered and deep-fried cod is by far the best.

Staithes was a little disappointing. The guide books sold it well but on arrival it seemed a little run down. There were several empty and run-down properties on the pretty main street leading down to the harbour. We took a walk from Staithes to the next bay and then in land and back to Staithes. It was both coastal and country and would have been lovely had it not been for a mass dog dirt covering the paths.

Got invited on a random roadtrip up north with my lifelong best mate and her family. Aside from having to deal with her annoying grandmother, it was absolutely gorgeous. Didnt have a camera at the time but wish I did, there were hills and picturesque houses everywhere!
