Tina and I were having breakfast at Sainsbury's just after 7.30 am, and from what we have heard from friends and family Scarborough is not as shopping crazy as some of the country. The shop was not heaving and we didn't queue for long, really not different to usual shopping. After we had unpacked I took a walk into town, again, no long waits of hordes of people in the shops I went into. I went to look at the sea, as it was a very grey December day today.

The sea looked very dark and quite calm compared to some days recently. I took a couple more pictures, these are of the South bay, which is packed in holiday time.

It began to rain on my way back, but it was quite light so I got damp rather that soaked! Then I sat down and ended up with the cat on my chest while I half watched Chicken run, sneezing because the cat hair was under my nose! I have been shifting furniture about a bit to try and make my bedroom a little less cluttered. Need to start getting rid of more stuff I think! It turned really wet and very grey earlier, so will put a delightfully out of focus photo on the blog, taken from the bedroom window!
