Whitby

Whitby Harbour Entrance

It seems ages since I last wrote, time passes so fast these days it always seem that I am either waking up or going to sleep. Still being busy suits me, I would hate to be bored. Finished the crochet, its turned into a wonderful warm winter shawl for when I have to sit around reading and suchlike.   I am looking around to start something new because I enjoyed making it so much, I didn’t use a pattern just followed my own head and it has turned out good… . Rediscovered Tom Jones this month he still has a powerful voice and looks ok for 70  he always looks as though he enjoys singing his collaboration with Jools Holland is wonderful..

Bought a digital radio in preparation for when we all have to go digital, it is has a much better reception and there are many more stations to listen too,also bought a Kimble e-book.  I have been looking at them for a few months now and this new one gives access to the internet, plays my music and will read to me .. Down loaded The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to read on my holidays.  It has WIFI and 3G so I can download books/internet internationally anytime anywhere. Wow !
I enjoyed my day up in Slaidburn with Betty and Astrid again . Betty is a volunteer warden for the Youth Hostel in Slaidburn and Erby for a few weeks during the summer. Its feels good to relax and catch up, Astrid lives in Conwy, we where at school together and Betty is her childhood friend. I have known Betty from when I was involved with Speakers Club she is a good friend.

Had a wonderful time in Whitby with Dorothy, the weather was perfect, sunshine and sea breezes . We did everything boat ride, tour bus and trawling up and down the narrow alleyways and steep inclines, including climbing 199 steps up to St Mary’s Church. Whitby is steeped in Dracula Myths, famous for Whitby Jet and of course their fabulous Fish and Chips being a fishing port. We visited Flamborough Head Lighthouse before we took the motorway for home, fantastic coastal scenery....Arrived home to find my garage roof was leaking in two places so I have had to move fast and get someone to it before it costs me a small fortune to repair. Take care, love you .
