Day Seven

Absolutely gorgeous weather!

We had a trip to the museum.  If you are ever in Whitby I recommend the museum.  It has 82,000 exhibits and they are all cuddled together, mammoth tooth by ammonite, jet jewellery by local medal, stuffed seagull by model ship and all local.  I was fascinated by the jet this time.  I am still not sure about the ethics of showing a dead man's hand, but I am happy to leave it be.  Here is a picture of snakestones taken from their website (link here)

And the link to the page of the Hand of Glory here.

We have to pack up tomorrow.  This time there actually isn't that much to go back as we have been relatively restrained this time.  Bear is very sad at the thought.  I have been instructed to book the same place for the same time next year.

The cottage is magnificent, it has four stars and it has earned every one of them!   I have mentally tried to work out whether we could actually live in somewhere like this, roughly one quarter the size of our own house.  Probably not, but I can feel an attack of decluttering coming on.

I have an order ready to be delivered for Sunday.  I hope that will be the last for a bit.  This will be followed by an Approved Food order on Monday and a Veg Box (which I hope to photo) on Thursday.   Then I will be staying as local as possible for as long as possible.  The trick now is to avoid all unnecessary shopping so that I don't bring anything I don't need into the house!

DF, formerly of Her Majesty's Royal Engineers, has been explaining mortars to bear.  Bear has also made a great many notes concerning Doctor Who and Plants vs Zombies.  He intends to tell his teacher everything when he gets back to school.

It is a view from our cottage.  I really recommend the cottages, they are so well put together and the owner is very pleasant and friendly.

I am still looking forward to getting home.  I think then I will be able to relax a bit and I hope get back into a rhythm.
