What a small world!

On Saturday Enid and I had a drive over to Whitby for a couple of hours. We were in one shop when I recognised a friend of mine who I hadn't seen for a few years, Theresa Tomlinson! We caught up on what had been happening. Theresa is an author and has written many books all with local locations and historic events in the plots. You can read about her work here... http://www.theresatomlinson.com/ I have read most of the books listed on the home page but my favourite ones are The Flither Pickers and the Herring Girls. You will remember me talking about Frank Meadow Sutcliffe Well he features in Theresa's books and she is a great fan of his. I introduced Theresa to Sutcliffe's great grandaughter a few years ago. She always enjoyed her time with Theresa. Theresa spent her childhood in this area, and in fact was a pupil at the school I was deputy head teacher.....not when I was there I hasten to add! We did find her name in the admissions register! Theresa loves Whitby and has a house here now. We will be meeting up for lunch sometime soon. It was great to see her again! On Sunday we were out for a bike adventure. Well wrapped up we set out for Bridlington. There we are riding over the moors when another motorbike overtook us..... then stayed behind us, then overtook us again! It was our friends, Dave and Caroline! Dave was Jon's best man when we married 18 years ago. Heather, their daughter was one of my bridesmaids! We went to Bridlington together and went into the 60's cafe.... it is an amazing place. I bet some of these pictures bring back memories for some of you! This is my favourite! Every home should have one!
