Coastal Day Out ...

Our weather was sunny over last weekend ,
so we decided to get out there on sunday ,
and make the most of it .
As we all know , car fuel prices have gone through
the roof , but we decided to travel to the east coast
anyway .
We ended up at one of my favourite places ..
Scarborough . I have shown photos of the place
beforehand , but here are a different selection of
views to see .....


The harbour ... With Scarborough Castle ..










View from the pier towards the beach ...

with a pirate tourist boat trip just leaving ..

I wonder if Captain Jack was on !!! ;o)





Seagulls nesting on the cliff face ...










From the seaside front - there is a tram carriage

from the bottom , to take you to the top part of

the town. It is over a 100 years old , and wooden .







The view from getting out of the tram ...

where you can walk through some gardens - if

you`re feeling energetic !






And here`s a fish and chip shop , right

on the seaside front ....

I had to take a photograph - because of their name !! ;o)

And had to share it with you ....

I was roaring with laughter at it myself !!

You certainly will not forget the name !!

Oh my, I love the view getting out of the tram! Can almost smell the air just looking at your photo.

I hope you're having a wonderful summer. I've been out of town and just now catching up on my blogging!

LMBO at Winking Willy's!!!! It's much funnier in the U.K. but for those of us who know what a willy is -- WHY on earth would they do that? Probably brings in good business!!!!

Looks like a beautiful day for that trip -- the photos are sparkling and the whole area looks somewhere you'd just love to spend a day.

So...did you sample the winking willy?!?! ;)

Looks like a delightful day, Carolyn. So glad you didn't allow the high fuel prices to hold you back. I love harbors....so much action, yet so serene. I didn't know that gulls nested on cliffs... Winking Willies sounds like a great place for lunch...if I only lived closer...
