Our Holiday by the Sea
Left the caravan on Tuesday morning for the drive to Whitby. Weather pretty ordinary but an easy trip on good roads. The cottage we are in is just lovely, pictures will follow. Went into Whitby for a short drive then a night in front of the telly.
Today (Wednesday) it rained after a night of rain, but we went off on a trip around the Moors. First to a village called Kirby ...
Yorkshire

We left our "tower apt" near the castle and headed to Rosslyn Chapel, which was only about 6 miles south of us. The chapel is not much to look at outside, but is absolutely stunning inside.
