Two towns, the first, Whitby, this is the town that launched
a thousand pubs all called ‘The Prospect
of Whitby’.
We arrived on a dull late June afternoon however after a romp
round Whitby Abbey (home of Bram Stoker and Dracula) it turned into a glorious
summer evening and from the Abbey grounds the whole town was bathed in a golden
light.
We were in this neck of the woods for a fossil hunting
morning the next day. http://timbaynesart.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/jurassic-jewels.html
We had decided to stay in Scarborough as Travel Lodge was
offering a good deal. Their welcome, the room and location were perfect. We looked out onto The Grand Hotel.
Grand it
is and as I sat down to draw early the morning several coaches cautiously rolled
up to collect people. Presumably at some stage of a tour, the halt and the
fleet of foot disconsolately dragged their wheelies down the hotels steps to
the bus.
Off we went to look for fossils!
