Whitby

Started the day with a walk down to the river which, while only a couple of miles or so, certainly got the lungs going and exercised the legs as it was down (and then back up) a very steep hill. After that, we headed off to Whitby where, after a wander round, we had lunch in the famous Magpie Cafe. Lovely fish, chips and mushy peas; we probably won't be eating again today. It was very cold and there was a howling gale but it was good to be by the coast. Now back at the cottage and the wood burner is lit; it will be a cosy evening in.
