Postcard from East Yorkshire

 As soon as I finished school for the summer I went away with my mum to East Yorkshire. We stayed in Walkington just outside Beverley. 
Beverley Minster






I'd like to say we stayed here but this was a house in the village! We stayed at The Ferguson Fawsitt Arms, it was lovely.








We had a lovely morning in Bridlington.
 And had a lovely cream tea in the Old Town.





and then a little look around The Priory Church.


 More beautiful needle work.

 I was excited to realise they had recently filmed the remake of Dads Army here!

 Then on the way back to the hotel we called in at Flamborough Head


We did a spot of bird watching from the cliffs.










Fish, chips and peas from the paper sat watching the sea at Bridlington

Then back to the hotel.
Postcard number two to follow soon.

  1. It is years since I visited Beverley Minster and that area - your photos make me want to return. Great idea using a redundant tea-pot for succulents.

  5. Good time! I remember a holiday in this part of the country when I was 11; Filey, Brid, Whitby and Flamborough Head. I don't think I've seen them all since. Thank you for reminding me about the good times that can be had over there.

    The fish n chips looks gorgeous!

  9. I am always amazed at those ancient cathedrals. The needle work is wonderful, too, and the sea, and the set table, and. . . . You gave yourself a nice reward for a summer of work and best of all you spent time with your mom, now that is the real treasure. I am returning to classroom to teach two classes of English composition at my university. No, I can't stay away. My traveling friend has 3 of her oldest granddaughters graduated and the last one will start college at the end of the month, so I am hoping to get her to commit to an English adventure. Your post cards most certainly whet my desires to travel.
