Wonderful Whitby

A relaxing day yesterday...sad that when you get to the really, really relaxed state, it's almost time to go home. Spent a lot of time up on the West cliff again, this time with Phil and Jake. We all sat in the cafe and had ice cream and coffee. Big decisions to make over the next two years - would we want to move here? I would, Phil would, Jake sometimes would and Sarah definitely wouldn't. I feel a definite pull from the North and would like to explore places further up the coast, and we will.

Whitby is so beautiful though and has got a bit of everything. Nothing beats the view of the vast North Sea, the view of the church and the abbey, and indeed the views from the abbey down to the town and the sea. Today we're going on a boat ride to Staithes- it will be great- we'll have an hour to look around and then come back. Don't want to go home.
