Happy WOYWW - our desk share day.
Well, it is a desk share if there is anything of interest on your desk!
I was away in Yorkshire for a few days last week and my desk is empty.
However, we did have a lovely few days meeting up with old friends and a bit of sight seeing at some of our favourite places.
We stayed in Pickering and just had to visit the North York Moors steam railway.
It was a glorious day and we even managed a climb round Pickering Castle getting a tan in the process!
The next day was more typical of our early Autumn weather so we took the bus over the moors.
We climbed the 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey. It was well worth the effort. The views from the top were great and I loved the museum as it had lots of interesting locally found artifacts. It always fascinates me to see all the tiny bits and bobs of personal items discovered around the area.
Before we came home, we had a misty, moisty walk around Goathland. In the middle of nowhere, along an old track, we came across a farm. Well, slightly more than a farm .
This is what G noticed on the side of a big shed.
He insisted that he had no idea it was there!
I'm still not sure I believe him.
Needless to say he was thrilled and we spent a happy half hour whilst he browsed the extremely well stocked model shop and then walked down to an old walkers pub for a shandy.
So that's me for this week.
Today I will be sharing my work room with Max as we are having a staff meeting🤣🤣
Have a good week all

I've never been to Whitby. It looks fabulous and he weather seemed to be kind to you. How fortunate that G found a model shop! Happy WOYWW Helen #2
ReplyDeleteA lot of people seem to be on holiday (as am I), as September is a good time to go (as soon as the children go back to school). You have visited some interesting places.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Lisbon and it rained yesterday. I haven't got as jacket with me, only a cardigan (September in southern Europe is always warm), so I got quite wet.
I had to smile at the model railway shop. Happy hubby, happy wife!
Enjoy the rest of your holiday,
Happy WOYWW,

Yeah right, that model shop was totally an accident, lol!! Hope had a happy time in there, I was brave and passed up an opportunity to go to a fabric warehouse yesterday, it was a fine day so we went to Raglan Castle instead after a lovely morning in Hereford. I love Whitby, one of my fav places in the UK. The church up near the Abbey is fascinating with all sorts of maritime memorials and original box pews #historygeek!

My favourite things today. I love Whitby and there is so much to see there. My favourite photographer Frank Sutclffe took his pictures here and I think they are now in the museum. Loving the train too. Have a good woyww. Hugs Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteFantastic pictures it looks like you've had a great time. That's a lot of steps to the top but worth it for the view. I felt like that when I I did the York Minster tower a few years back. I haven't been to Whitby Abbey, must look it up. Happy Woyww - Michelle #16 x
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fab time away...if only things were a little more planned than you thought lol

Gosh what an amazing abbey from below and within. Hugs BJ#11
ReplyDeletePickering is one of my all-time favourite places. I'm glad you're both having such a good time there. Our holiday there a few years ago was unforgettable. We missed the model shop. How did that happen? Hope the weather keeps up for you and you have a great week. Hugs, Ellie x #8
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a lovely time. Love the view of Whitby Abbey. The last time we went to Whitby is was so busy, out of season is probably a better time to see it. Happy WOYWW. Angela #15
ReplyDeleteLove Pickering and Whitby. We stayed in Pickering once when we couldn't get accommodation in Whitby and drove in daily - now what did I do with those jet ear rings?

I used to know the area well! Really enjoyed the photos! Happy WOYWW! Susan #3
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun was had by all, especially G...I love the photos of the castle, I often wonder what they looked like when they were first built! Enjoy the rest of your holiday, Lindart #17
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time Jo - Whitby and Goathland are brilliant places to visit. Sorry to be so late visiting this week but I had great difficulty getting my computer to link up with the internet on Wednesday and a busy week at work. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW memories next week.
ReplyDeleteI have only been to Whitby once but loved it and would enjoy another visit there. Made me smile about the model shop that your hubby happened to notice. Glad you enjoyed your holiday break in Yorkshire.
