The view or two from my "office"

Mini Bus trip to Whitby. Much better than Scarborough. All the locals seemed to agree as it was packed on a beautiful sunny day with winter fast approaching. About as many dogs as people. Still well worth a visit.

We really liked Whitby when we visited. We had our own car though which made it easier to get around. We were staying in York.
 
Many years ago, talking to a guy in the Carpenters Arms in Fangfoss, Yorkshire, he knew we had travelled a lot, but he said he often went to Whitby and had no interest in seeing anything else as Whitby was the best place in the world and nothing else compared!
This was also the day that Geoff Boycott was not offered a new contract for Yorkshire and in protest some members that happened to be in the pub, cut their ties up. I still have a piece I recovered from a bin.
