back from east coast break

Well done San, nice blog, glad you enjoyed your little break. I've never been to Bridlington, but heard lots about it. the area looks quite interesting. Hope your feeling better.

Lovely Sandra - lovely place :)))) Welcome back

I'm glad you enjoyed your few days break San , you went to some pretty places and well done with your getting help for the Cormarant it must have been quite poorly to let them pick it up like that , I don't suppose you will ever know the outcome .. .......

Welcome home Sandra, pleased you enjoyed your break. looking at your pictures of Robin Hoods Bay reminded me of our wonderful break there when we went to meet Simon and Clare as they completed the Coast to Coast walk. We stayed at the Victoria Hotel and the view from our bedroom was the one in Photo 11 and number 10 shows the little bay where the triumpnant couple dipped there toes in the sea;0)

Lovely photo`s San, my brother lives near Scarborough so have visited that area many times and love it.
Pleased you enjoyed it .......

If I'd realsied you were there you could have come over for a cuppa, we are between york/bridlington well sort of and I could have taken you to all the lovely garden centres here. 10 miles from Reighton where I get alot of my bargains.

Brid does look a bit down at the oment but they have revamp the promenades and the arina improvemnets are in the pipe line too.

did you like the walled garden at Burton Agnes? it is one of local sunday jaunts. in fact most of the places you visited are.

Another part of the country I've never visited San ... it looks very scenic ... pleased you enjoyed your short break away. Hope your cough disappears soon too. : o ))

It looks lovely Sandra. I've never been to that area myself - glad you did and enjoyed the pics :o)

Love that part of the world San, but really love Whitby, I adore that place, my hubbie was born in York so he loves going to all the places you mentioned and Robin hoods bay is a little treasure trove, love your pics.
ps. try some manuka honey, teaspoon a day!

Lovely photos, looks very quiet, you did get around, not surprised you were too tired to go out in the evenings.......hope the bird makes a full recovery, hope your cough improves, take care of yourself xx

Hi San pleased you had a nice break, shame about Bridlington, we went to Margate a few years ago and it was so shabby and run down we drove on....
I do like Yorkshire, spent a week once doing the moors & dales in an MGB roadster mostly with the top down, magic!, been to the places you mentioned and also Runswick bay & Staithes, one of them you have to leave your car at the top!!-( I was younger then!)
pam xxx

Some of my very favourite places Sanbaz..bet you had a gorgeous time. We were up that way a few years back, love Beverley, pretty town, friendly folks..had a nice chat with the vicar(?) of the minster..never realised it was 14th C!

We used to go to Bridlington every year when I was a kid in the 80s/90s. I loved it but I haven't been back there since 2001 so I'd love to return one day. I remember my favourite shop was called Nixie Plonks, they sold everything. I'm going to see if I can find it on Google Earth :D

Great blog Sandra - I spend a week around there every June, a lovely part of the country. Fish and chips at The Magpie in Whitby and a day at Helmsley Walled Garden . . . heaven.
Hope you get rid of that cough mate! :-))

Yes! It's still there, it's on Queen Street. Also really good to see the fishmongers is still there with the crabs all lined up outside. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!

Glad you enjoyed your break, Sanbaz. York is one of my favourite places but haven't been up that way for several years now. So pleased help was found for the poor cormorant too. Hope that cough disappears soon.

hey guys thankyou for all your lovely comments, enjoyed reading them all, glad it brought back so many memories for alot of you and if i had know you were close by sea... i would have loved to have met you, in future i should put a notice up to see if anyone is close by to where we are going lol.and loved the walled garden ;o))
i saw the hotel carole you mentioned, very nice to, it was so sunny we sat on the grass verge where the stone statue is for robin hoods bay, so peacefull.
im glad to hear bridlington is getting a make over, it will encourage people to go as the locals were so friendly and make you so welcome.
the cough is slightly better and slept lastnight :o))
would love to do the scenic routes in an MGB pam, great stuff,
the fish and chips were to die for and i dont normally eat a full portion.
so thankyou you all again for comments ;o))

Really enjoyed your blog,sandra

...Forgot to say...we have loads of Cormorants at Carnoustie....well, Westhaven to be exact, a little harbour just up the road. The sit on the poles that lead the boats to the shore...funny to see them like sentinels. I love the Sea birds..except the Gulls...squawk, shreik, etc. etc. :(

We are heading that way next week to visit family in North Yorks. Brid may be on the cards, Harlow Car certainly is.

Harlow Carr is really beautiful BA, I hope you enjoy it. And lunch at Betty's is worth the queue in my opinion too! I hope I will get there again one day, the herbaceous borders are an absolute colour-fest!

hope you have a lovely time mr, MB, hope the weather bucks up to ;o))
