Right, let's have a few cheerful posts, shall we, after such a maudlin run of woe? A few days after we'd taken Skippy & Daisy to their new home, we took ourselves off to the seaside for a couple of days. This was the first time we'd been away for more than one night since 2017, so quite something. The weather was glorious, and we didn't do very much at all, just wandered between hotel and beach and cafes. It was great, and being somewhere else, even just for a couple of days, was just what we needed. A couple of weeks later, we went on another trip - our first proper holiday since 2016. We only booked it the day before, and were delighted to get a little holiday flat overlooking the sea in Scarborough. We slowly remembered what it was like to be on holiday. We rarely do anything dramatic, so it was a lovely week of wandering along the beach, ambling around town, pottering between cafes. Perfect. We travelled about a little bit while we were there - a day up in Whitby, and another day in Bridlington (and a trip to the dentist, but we're trying to forget about that one). It was only a few days, but it was so restorative. We were lucky with the weather - it wasn't sunny for the whole time, but it was warm and dry and the sun made an appearance. It was just so nice to be somewhere else, well away from everything that needs doing at home.
I'm not sure we'll manage another holiday this year, although we might take a couple of short trips to visit friends in various places. I've missed being able to do that.

Love that area especially Whitby and Filey. It’s great to get away for a few days and sometimes even overnight can just recharge the batteries. Love the photos

Hello!Sit down and make yourself comfortable. I'm Jenni, and I write here about our new foray into country living, which includes growing food, knitting, baking, wandering around the fields, and seeing which local cafe serves the best cake. Categories
