Day trip to Hornsea

Lovely sky again last night, been spoilt with them lately despite the days not being so sunny.

Today Tina and I set off early as she had a meeting in Hornsea and offered to take me along for the ride. She dropped me off before 9 am at the front and I had a coffee sat near this very attractive water feature.

It was a bit drizzly,, but I took some pictures along the front.

I did a quick pen sketch sitting on the steps by the rails in the third one, I will put that at the end of the post with one I did later.
There is a little green area on the way to the town centre with a lovely war memorial and a great old park bench.

Into the town and I thought I would go and see what the museum was like, looked quite a small building but worth a try.

How wrong I was, it was quite large and that house this side of the entrance was full of cabinets of Hornsea pottery after you had seen the rest. I took about a hundred photos so won't obviously post them all. Some of the rooms, Victorian theme.

I had to try a hat on from the dressing up box!

More rooms.

Some of the workshops outside in the grounds.

I loved this large corn dolly anchor.

There was a row of shop fronts before you went in to look at the pottery.

I will post a few more museum pictures tomorrow, I still have the visit to the St. Nicholas church to write about. An impressive building and luckily open today so that I could go inside.

One of the windows and the very large church organ,

The steps up to the bell tower looked like they would be quite a challenge.

I wandered back to the sea and something or someone had made the seagulls lively.

 I did another pen sketch at the museum, so have photographed the two together.

We had a good journey home and called in to Mr Moos for a very nice, and big ice cream. I walked more than I have in a while, taking it very easily, and although the ankle is a bit sore now and I have a blister on my little toe, I have really enjoyed the day.
