Birthday treat!!
As promised I was taken to the seaside for my birthday treat. Didn't know where exactly, I left that up to Paul. There were two very excited girls in the back of the car, with swimming cossies packed.
We had got as far as Guisborough, by lunch time. And somehow we managed to find ourselves outside the Levens craft shop. a patchwork paridise!!! stacked with beautiful fabrics of every colour. Paul rolled his eyes and bit his tounge, then let me carry on. By chance there was a knitting cafe in progress, so had to pop my head around the corner, I even knew one of the knitters, Sheila, so had a chat for a while, I could easily have sat down and joined in, but knew the rest of the family wouldn't be impressed.
Had something to eat in the little bistro over the road then set off again in search of the sea.
and here is the first glimpse of the sea!!
And this is where we ended up, Runswick bay, where Paul spent many of his holidays as a child.
The best thing is that it's off the beaten track, and uncomercialised apart from a small cafe and bucket and spade shop. The girls had eyes for only one thing though!!
The sun kept coming out from behind the clouds, and it was so beautiful what better way to spend a birthday??
Back up through the village then on to Whitby for our tea!!
( had to put up a wonky one for old times sake)

Looks beautiful, Runswick Bay looks just as I remember it! The girls look as though they had a brill time. Love the wonky photo, it just wouldn't be a Becky post without one!!

Thanks for my gorgeous nostepinne/sock puller upperer!
Glad u had a good birthday. Pressie to come your way next time I see you!
Love Levens! What a day with a visit to Levens and that gorgeous little bay as well.
Your sky looks remarkably blue. Mine hasn't been blue for a long time. Did you use that soft-ware programme that estate agents are infamous for using that makes all the sky blue and all the pylons disappear???
Cheers Gillian
