Scarborough mere and shopping

Tina had her day off today and we went to Scarborough. To the garage where Tina bought her car first to see how it is doing and to discuss a possible change at some point. We called in at Morrison’s for a cuppa and to use the facilities! Then off to the mere, a favourite place for both of us. We had some such food and the swans particularly were very hungry today.a few pictures of this beautiful place and it’s inhabitants.




We drove into the town and parked in the car park above Wilkinsons. First purchase was a shopping trolley, forgot to take a picture of the new one, will try to remember tomorrow. We had a wander around the centre and called in at the Grape Tree and got some yummy, healthy treats. We walked up to the Brunswick Centre and both got some clothes in the sale at Debenhams. Had lunch there too. Should have mentioned the car park, last time the lifts weren’t working but this time they were. We found a place high up so I was able to take a photo of the town.
We went to Wilkinson’s and I got a sack of peanuts for the birds which we forced into the new shopping trolley with some difficulty! Then we were off to 
Sainsbury’s, we had planned on having a cup of tea before we shopped but their cafe was closed. We had a list and were quite organised, although I did get some treats from Tina in the sale area. The two small ones are photo holders.
Also a big candle for my new tea light holder, it is perfect and I can light it without taking it apart!
I sat down for a bit and Pandora decided to sit on me, doesn’t do that often. She really grumbled at me when I decided to move!
May do a bit to the challenging jigsaw in a bit!

  1. I do like Scarborough, and like you two I think the mere is a lovely place. Love the fourth pic as I think it shows it off really well. How could you not like scenery like that? Sounds like a good time was had by all with the shopping and luncheon as well. All in all a nice trip out, and no doubt a few chuckles were shared between you two along the way 😊
    Your pic of the town does show off how tightly packed Scarborough is. They certainly didn’t waste much space when they were building it!
    The new shopping trolley certainly got christened today. More food to spoil the wildlife!
    The otters are very cute. Always nice to get treats when you’re out. You were obviously behaving yourself 😊 Dont touch the handle on that tea light holder after it’s been on a while. I’m guessing it’ll get pretty warm and might make you curse a little.
    Awwww, Pandora does look very cute in that pic, butter wouldn’t melt. Looks can be deceiving though!
    A pretty good day for you. They all need to be like that really. Have fun with the puzzle.

  2. It was a very good day, if a little tiring!
    The mere is a lovely p, tranquil place. There were a few cars but not a lot of people around when we walked a little way along. Was nice to see the young swans enjoying the food.
    The town was quite busy but we didn’t have any problems and kept our masks onl
    No, I will try not to pick the light up!
