Watch out for the Christmas Tree

When you are coming to Whitby on the A169 over the moors from Pickering look out for the Christmas Tree around a mile, or maybe a bit more, after RAF Fylingdales. We first noticed the tree about this time last year when there was only one bauble. Over the next few weeks a couple more appeared and at Chrismas last year there were no more than half a dozen. Since then it seems that every time we pass there is another ornament, some tinsel and now the top is adorned by a star. Technically people are probably littering, but seeing the tree develop makes us smile each time we pass on our weekly trips to visit family.

Whether you are coming to stay at The Waverley, somewhere else or just on a day trip, look out for the tree on the left hand side after passing the early warning station and hopefully it will make you smile too.
