Mine was ace
Took friday off work and had breakfast in the garden, then we set off on our mystery road trip for our Wedding Anniversary we had checked the weather forecast, and lo and behold sunny all down the east coast.
2 hrs later - in Whitby, went for a coffee and looked through the B&B leaflets - so we chose the best "proper" B&B we could - chintz heaven - Barbie white and gilt furniture, en suite with full english fry up next day. Brilliant.!!
Dumped bags and did the whole of Whitby in 4/5 hrs (its not as big a place as you might think
)
Visited the Abbey and checked out the Goths following in the footsteps of Dracula's coffin to the Abbey from the headlands, walked over the moors, ate tea and cakes in the sunshine, checked out the marine and Goth based tack shops and found lots of marine type pubs so it would have been rude not to visit a few of them during out walkabout. We did of course indulge in the best freshly caught fish with chips n mushy peas, before more walking to get back to the B&B. .... I am sure our walking would have taken less time if it wasnt for the amount of chills we had taken out with us
Back out again at 9 for a few drinks but to be honest we were knackered so we went back to chintzland after 2 drinks....
Sat: Full English with lashings of tea (the best made tea ever - 3 t bags in a small pot of boiling water..
Yorkshire Tea LoL.
Another gorgeous day so we set off to Robin Hood's Bay for beach based activities.... what a gorgeous little village and a stunning beach - we spent about 3 hrs searching for fossils (the beach is reknowned for them) so lots of rock smashing later - we came home with 2 ammonite fossils which we found in the rocks.... I swear I havent had so much fun on a beach since I was about 7 years old
More food and drink and a leisure drive home for a rest....
Sun: Back to reality and gardening.....
We had a fantastic weekend in Chintzland and loved our time together (neither of us switched on our mobile's for the duration which was just fantastic.....) best weekend in ages and a lovely way to spend our anniversary....
Cost wise for lots of food, drink, diesel and 2 days of chillin - same cost as a mad night out on the town clubbing..... 8)
