Against The Law! - Our Rant.
What part of this do some people find hard to understand. We appreciate that some people do smoke and there is no problem with more than 99% of them, but every so often you get an inconsiderate and selfish person who thinks that it is acceptable to break the law and abuse our home. You may have gathered that we are annoyed, just having had a group of 4 people in 2 rooms. On the first couple of mornings we were suspicious that one couple had smoked in their room, but had no evidence other than the smell. This could have been on their clothes, so we didn't challenge them. When they checked out, they simply left without saying goodbye which is most unusual. We always like to say farewell and have a chat as people go but didn't get the opportunity. Fortunately there was nobody going into the room on the day they departed as there was distinct evidence of smoking and the smell was stronger than ever. We have no problem with smokers as long as they are considerate to others and neither smoke indoors nor leave their smoking litter around. Rant over.

Another "Whitby Christening"
3 years in Whitby and our car has had its best christening ever from the seagulls!! There aren't many downsides to living in our lovely town, but the seagulls, or more what they do, is certainly one of them. The car had been parked for 5 days and became a target - other cars round about were untouched! Eh ho.

European Blue Flag for Whitby's beaches
Once again Whitby has been awarded the European Blue Flag which is the most prestigious beach award available, as reported in today's Whitby Gazette. This is particularly pleasing after some of last year's problems in the harbour.

Bank Holiday
As everyone had checked in and we had no better plans we decided to go to Whitby Abbey to learn a bit about the worst jobs in mediaeval times. A bit corny really, but OK for the kids. Despite the clear blue skies on the photo on the left we ended up dashing back into the visitor centre to escape the rain - typical bank holiday weekend!! Town has quietened a bit now the weekend has gone, but we're expecting another busy time as this coming weekend is Line Dance Weekend with all the usual suspects coming once again. Looking at the diary we have probably had our last day off until towards the end of the season in October. No rest for the wicked! As soon as there is a day when we can get up to the Abbey for opening time we will do as I would love to get photos with nobody around, not easy with breakfasts and rooms to do!
