Glad you got there and of course you can't leave Whitby without a kipper!<br /><br />Funnily enough I had a kipper for my tea the other night but I'm not allowed to cook them in the house. They get done on a camping stove outside in the deep dark frost. But we've now had a fence across the bottom of the garden so the trolls, and sheep, can't get at them.Gordon Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796375484099193959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-11171309543035862552010-11-24T08:44:47.745+00:002010-11-24T08:44:47.745+00:00Hi Joey - it was such a lovely trip...nearly up th...Hi Joey - it was such a lovely trip...nearly up there with Hubbard Lake! Himself moaned about me taking the romantic photo once I'd noticed our shadows, but I think he was secretly quite pleased! Men eh?!<br />If you ever do your trip to England I'll feed you up and take to you Whitby! :)<br /><br />Aloha Noel. There's lots more history to Whitby, but as I'd done such a long post I didn't dare put any more in in case of reader overload! It is a beautiful and fascinating place though.<br /><br />Next time we go I'll have a hot cocoa and scone on your behalf! :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-20956458041286676832010-11-23T17:44:42.024+00:002010-11-23T17:44:42.024+00:00aloha liz,

Get yersen gone lass!<br /><br />It's about a 2 & 1/2 hour drive but well worth it.<br /><br />Hi Phoenix C - I spent a lot of time in and around Whitby as a child, so I love going back. We did pass a sign for a nursery as we drove through Sleights, but Himself vetoed a visit - knowing what I'm like in nurseries!<br /><br />Hi Gypsyrose and welcome to my blog. I'm glad you liked it. If ever you venture north, Whitby is well worth a visit :)<br /><br />Hi Rob - I tried to book us into the White Horse and Griffin but they were full up with a private party for the weekend! We'd looked in just before I took the photo, but it was heaving, so I had to settle for a pint in The Duke of York instead!<br /><br />Hi Pondside - it was a lovely weekend and I came back feeling like we'd been away a week! I'm like you in that I like the coast most off-season too. Whitby is heaving in summer!<br />The beach walk was heavenly and I could positively feel my body responding to all that sea air - wonderful! :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-8903700416797196932010-11-20T02:00:35.334+00:002010-11-20T02:00:35.334+00:00That was just a perfect weekend.

I like my time at the shore to be in the off season - I like the solitude, the wind, the waves...and the cup of hot chocolate or tea is such a treat after a brisk walk.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-12898333719191512192010-11-19T19:31:36.706+00:002010-11-19T19:31:36.706+00:00Liz this is a great post about Whitby.
