Showing the family around

This morning I made a few jam tarts and prepared dinner for later before the family came for a wander around the town and then to go and see Tina's churches. It was sleeting first thing and was very cold and rained for most of the day, but it didn't stop us doing what we had planned. Some shops were still closed but Anya and Louis enjoyed browsing in the ones we did visit, they really like the town. We had the most amazing luxury hot chocolate in the Craft Cafe.

This great sign is outside the pet shop!

Isobel wanted to see the sea again so she and Louis went on ahead and we strolled in that direction at a more leisurely pace. When we were nearing the front they were signalling for us to turn round. When they got to us Isobel was soaked through, they had been watching the high tide, ran to miss a very large wave and Isobel got sprayed! She was not upset but we needed to get back quickly as she would soon become very chilled. Louis went back to their holiday home for more clothes so I got lunch indoors before we were due to meet Tina and do a tour of the churches.There had been a wedding in St Nicholas's and as the weather was so bad they were having photographs in the church. We all looked at the Christmas trees which were still on display, and Anya went to the house to get some food for Tina as it was will gone two and she had been out of the house since just after 8 am. The crib at St Nicholas's is under the alter, which is quite unusual. Isobel was honoured to be allowed to try out Tina's special seat in the church.

We went to Skipsea church first, I haven't been inside that one before myself. A very old Norman church built in the 1100's.

Some pretty nice sky shots from outside, I have missed those!

When we got back the family relaxed and I got dinner sorted. They were having a game of Christmas Monopoly!

Another game after dinner, a bit of tv and then the family went back to their digs.
