We arrived ib the Uk and started our trip at York as we wanted to drive up the north east coast.We spent three days in york it was very interesting and we enjoyed all the site. I have been many times to York but it was Brian'sfirst time so it was fun showing him all the sites. We woke one morning to a strange sound and saw a hot air baloon coming down on the other side of the hedge.
From there we went to Scarbourgh, again Brian has not done any of this coast so anouther first. We went via Filey andof course it was raining, so this was a quick walk round and back to Bessie, we arrived in Scarbough in the rain but the next morning it was warm and sunny so off we go for the day. This day was our first wedding anneversary so Brian took me for a meal in the Grand hotel.
This was special for me as this is where my Dad was head chef (in the days when it was the grandest hotel in the area) when I was a child and it was the first time I had been in that I can remember.
From here we payed a visit to Robin hood Bay a small coastal village, you had to be good at walking up hills here no wonder there was cafes half way up the hills you needed them.
Onwards we go, now stopping at Whitby with it's abby and everthing based on Dracula.
Now we come to the highlight of my Uk visit Brian enjoyed it as well, the coast of Durham where all my life was spent till I got married.Jeanette Spain

Lovely blog Jeanette, but you must have done a lot of other very interesting things all the time you were away. Will you be doing any more blogs on your visit? It would be very interesting to read

Lovely. I'm glad you had a great holiday. I still haven't been to York!
Very interesting Jeanette as always. Can't wait to read about your trip to Sheffield. I was also very keen to read about your trip to The Grand Hotel Scarbrough. I have a special interest in this particular hotel. What year was your father Head Chef there? Does that mean you are a good cook too? Coincidentally, my Grandfather was Head waiter in The House of Commons!
yers I will do more we had a great time and seen many interesting things
My father was chef from 1945 to 1958, I have done a catering course to city and guilds for catering, got a job and hated it so went to train as a teacher and loved then. You must tell about your grand father if you that would be interesting
Very good blog Jay, glad you found the time. Dissapointed you did not tell the story I am keeping stum about :O)
