Before they left Isabel went into their local town where in the Oxfam shop was a notice asking for a kind person to sew up blanket squares!!
I use the term squares loosely - some had a corner missing and one had at least 5 sides none of which were straight. There were small ones and large ones. Some were beautifully neat but lots had ends toweave in. So that's how we spent our evenings and it didn't even get finished.
Aside from that we had a wonderful holiday. The cottage was huge. It could accomodate 10 and beatifully done out. The view from the front was stunning and baby rabbits. sheep and peacocks put in appearances at the back.
We visited Whitby and I went to Bobbins but only bought postcards befor we carried on to Robin Hood's Bay
We went to Filey where it was warm enough for a paddle
and into Bridlington where we had a ride on the eye.
Rosemary really wanted to go on the bungie/trampoline things but they turned out to be just for children so Millie went on instead.
The highlight of the trip was a day at 'Falingo Land' largly paid for with Tesco Day Out vouchers. This was the best fun. We all went on at least some of the rides, even my James. We got soaked on the Yellow Submarines and spun around on Circulator. We had a bird's eye view from the cable cars and jumped up and down with a large frog. There was a seaside adventure with Profesor Bubbles and I just loved the Rocking Tub even if it was a children's ride.
Then of course there were the animals
On Friday it looked like a seaside day again so we headed off to Scarborough and it was absolutely lovely.
I really really didn't want the week to end. I tried to soften the blow by breaking up the return journey with a visit to Helmsley, a morning coffee and scone in a farmshop/tearoom and a stop-off at the York designer outlet but it didn't really work. Not even finding there was a Scarecrow Festival in Stillington as we passed through.
