Those of us who know Whitby in North Yorkshire will probably think of fish and chips with mushy peas or the gothic drama of Dracula and Bram Stoker. Anyway, that was the destination for today dear readers of Wear and Dao and after a night of heavy rain your blogger and his partner set off south and east past Middlesbrough, Guisborough to Whitby by the sea. Whilst there the weather was dry though heavy rain fell on the way back through the North York moors via Pickering, Northallerton and Darlington. ..
After coffee and a pee at the Royal Hotel on the clifftop, we wandered through town with the other tourists seeing the sights and finding a restaurant for fish, chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce we were ready for a walk back to the car for the drive home.
Back in Stanhope we found a message on the phone from our solicitor saying both sides were ready to sign the contract for the sale of the Retreat House ... finally! After a pint of bitter shanty at the Grey Bull we had supper and an early night ready to go to Crook to sign the contract tomorrow ... and write the blog you're reading now.
