This morning was wet so I waited for a while before going out, I did want to have a ride on the bike but didn't want to get drowned in the process! Sandy from the ceramic studio sent me a message to ask if I wanted to have lunch with her, a treat for me for getting all the plates ready for painting last week. I had checked maps again as I realised that when I walk to town I don't have to worry about one way streets but obviously would need to plan my route when going through town on the bike. I wanted to avoid the really main roads and find the old Filey road. I set off and stopped to take a picture looking back at the clock tower.

The hill was shrouded in mist when I passed the end of the road.

Looking back towards the distant castle.

I only had to go on the main road just by the college for a little while and then turned left onto the old Filey road which was relatively quiet, although not that wide and I have to say the vans and buses were rather close to me as they sped by! Coming back to the large roundabout at the main road later was a much trickier challenge, one I will have to have a good think about before I take that route again. I went the Osgodby and then arrived at Cayton Bay. A couple of pics, complete with bike, to prove it!

Looking the other way really did seem like I was in the wilds, it was grey and a bit drizzly.

When I got home I was tired but pleased with the trip. About 9 miles in total but some assisted and some free wheeling so not that much Jan powered!! I have started on some different bazaar items, if they are a success I will post pictures tomorrow. Tina had been out this afternoon to a stately home near Driifield with the ladies that attend Not Home Alone. She said it was lovely place and bought me back a couple of very nice presents.
