We're back

Problems with posting pictures seems to be sorted so we have come back. Went for a nice walk yesterday into Mulgrave Woods and up to the old castle, probably about 7 miles in total. Never seen the castle before. Path is only open on Wednesdays and Saturdays and most people don't know it's there.

Got back home just before massive thunderstorm, quite spectacular lightning - just as well as had no coats with us.

There are 2 special events this year for North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Whitby. The first is 175th Anniversary of the Whitby - Pickering line from 29th April to 8th May. Click for more details. The bringing of the railway was the birth of Whitby as a tourist destination and the railway is a continuing interest of many of our visitors.

The second event that is officially coming into town this year, as we heard yesterday, is Railway in Wartime most commonly referred to as War Weekend. We went to the War Weekend in Pickering with our friends back in 2003, long before our move to The Waverley, and the atmosphere was fabulous. When we have more details we will update our posting. For more information in general follow this link, War Weekend and for some pictures from when we went in 2003 click here.



New YouTube Posting by LBCC

Lynn has posted a new video to YouTube - "Having a Colonoscopy". Those of you who know us know that we support Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign and have been involved with the charity ever since it was created because I (Stephen) had bowel cancer back in 1997. Hopefully the video will help any of you who may be about to undergo a colonoscopy now or in the future. There is a permanent link to the video at the bottom of the column to the left.

WHITBY ABBEY VOTED UK’S MOST ROMANTIC RUIN

Whitby Abbey has just been voted the UK's most romantic ruin, check out the reports on the BBC and Whitby Gazette sites. The photo below was taken from The Waverley by one of our guests, all of our rear rooms have views of the Abbey.

Many of our regular guests actually ask for room 9, despite it being our smallest room and at the top of 51 stairs, simply for the spectacular view of the Abbey and sea. Why not have a Romantic weekend in Whitby to celebrate Valentine's day?
