Whitby, today!

The Wheels On The Bus

The wheels on the bus go
round and round
round and round
round and round
the wheels on the bus go
round and round
all day long.

We have had a busy 24 hours!
I worked in the garden yesterday afternoon and last night I cooked roast lamb for dinner.
Jon's ssiter was staying the night so we had a lovely meal together.

After lunch today Jon had done what he could in the shed build so we decided to go out on the motorbike.
Initially we were heading towards Teesside as Jon wanted to have a look at some patio doors for his shed.
However, as we rode towards Teesside we could see the black clouds, as well as feeling spots of rain on our helmets. Looking towards the sky we could see blue clouds over the moors, so we turnrd round and went to Whitby!

I was glad i took my camera as the vintage bus just pulled up for a few minutes, but enough time for me to take the photograph!

We stayed in the Whistestop Cafe and chatted to a couple of our biker pals before heading off to Scarborough.

It was sunny at Whitby, often meaning it will be dull at Scarborough.
However we were in for a pleasant Surprise.....Scarborough was glorious.


We parked the bike and had a walk along the harbour.




There were a few boat trips in action!



Speeds for all tastes!




There was lots of really interesting views.
In the picture below, the hill in the background is Oliver's Mount race circuit where we were last Sunday!






We sat by the Seafront and enjoyed the afternoon sunshine.








I love Scarborough.

On the way home I had a good think about what I have to do this week.
In the Garden.....
I have to weed my dry stone wall and possibly plant up some more succelents in it,
Weed the front bird area and plant up some bulbs in containers there,
Sort out the gravelled area which runs along the front of the house,
Plant up other bulbs in the shrubbery and possibly the dry stone wall.

DIY
I need to press on and complete the final bits of stripping the stairs.
Try to strip the paint from the kitchen door surround.

Business
I have a design to complete for customer approval early this week
I have to order materials for another commission.

So I think I have enough to keep me busy!

Still, it was good planning on the back of the motorbike, in the sunshine, returning home from Scarborough!

Are you going to Scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework, then shell be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand, then shell be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather, then shell be a true love of mine

Are you goin to Scarborough fair? parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine
