We had a wonderful few days with four lovely people here in Staithes, even the weather was kind to us… Sean was in his element as story teller /guide/skipper… Thomas was part guide part cameraman… Tricia was on ‘kitchen duty’… Sean, Christine, Keith, Chris & Gill… The first day involved a walk along the foreshore from Staithes to the old harbour at Port Mulgrave… Thomas took lots of pictures and has made it into a […]

Read Morethe foreshore at it's best…
over the holiday period we have been on some great walks… one was up to the alum mines at the top of Boulby… with the snow on the ground the usually desolate scenery was more impressive than it normal is… Today’s walk was only a short one because of the constant snow showers… for the last few weeks the wind has either been easterly or northerly which is the best direction for washing flotsam & […]
