Busy day in Scarborough

Well, maybe not that busy, but the hills and walking made it seem that way! I had been going to Hull to sort my phone contract out at Vodafone, but Tina was off to Whitby to meet up with some colleagues and said she would drop me off in Scarborough. There isn’t a Vodafone shop in Whitby, but the journey to Whitby is via Scarborough. She dropped me off at Peasholm Park, I had a quick hello to the park before setting off for the town centre.

I made the mistake of starting my journey up a pretty short but very steep hill to the cliff tops, that set the tone for feeling exhausted for the rest of the day! Took some pics of the north bay though.

I made my way into town and turned down Bar Street as I though that was where the cafe was that I intended to visit for lunch. Picked the wrong road and ended up near the Grand Hotel.

Turned into Huntress Row and found the cafe, was ready for my lunch. After that I went to the Vodafone store and a very helpful young man sorted out my new contract. I walked to where the post office was, but not there anymore so made my way to Smiths. Got some more stamps to take with me to the abbey, in case they have postcards. But even if they don’t I will have plenty of time to write letters, hands permitting! I was feeling pretty weary so stopped for a sit down in the quiet area opposite the station.

Then walked to Sainsbury’s where I was meeting Tina. Some sky pics for a change.

It was getting on for 4pm when Tina collected me. We stopped at Lidl but Tina wasn’t able to get a decent charge for the car so she drove back via the leisure centre. A charger was free there so we left the car and walked home. Nearly forgot the last pic from the journey home.

Have been getting packed and making lists for the abbey stay. As far as I know I will be off line so will be back on 12th November. If there is internet there then will do the blog.
