A need for some sea air combined with a love for Captain Cook, we ended up in Whitby for the weekend. Whilst the summer warmth was leaving us, the weather was kind and we had sunny blue skies for the whole time. Whitby is such a lovely place to visit with its well known fish and chip shop and interesting history, you will not get bored or hungry! Whilst we were there, there was a demonstration on at the Captain Cook Musuem and much to my partners delight a chance to sample some of the wonderful delights they would have eaten at sea. The slow cooked meat was tasty but the suet pudding was just not for me! 
Before leaving we drove up the coast to visit Staithes, a fascinating fishing village perched beside the sea. As we walked round the village, you could have heard a pin drop but you cannot help being enchanted by the steep cobbled walkways and tucked away allotments.
