Day out

Hi

Here we are STILL in the boat yard things are moving and getting on with the job. I should not complain because they are doing a great job to do it properly which means long times of doing nothing between jobs as they are putting lots of coats of epoxy resin, then paint, then more paint and so on even I find it complicated,  I expect that if you want it done properly it is going to take time. But as usual we are making the best of it. Fortunately we have our car here so we have been out and about.

Today we have been on a nostalgic trip to Whitby. As many years ago I bought Noreen a Victorian Whitby Jet necklace which was then the most expensive thing I had ever bought her. ???????? 

In all these years Whitby has not changed the only thing that has is the fishing fleet is now being used for day trips such a sad sad sight the EU has an awful to answer for. to think that Capt Cook  set sail from Whitby to discover Australia, the great whalers left here. and many other sea going stories were born here. 

the drive over to Whitby is a fantastic day out on its own from leaving Pickering you cross the North York Moors and I do not think that there is a better drive in the UK except for the Lakes and and the Lancashire 

moors.

On the whole a really good nostalgic day out who knows what tomorrow will bring not as good as travelling by boat but hey life is too short  just  enjoy the day.  

God Bless
