A view across the harbour on our first little explore.
|
|
The Abbey.
|
|
A rather eroded gravestone. Arran found the texture fascinating.
|
|
Narrow streets.
|
|
Ahh, what's this? A piston? A crank? It must be...
|
|
...a steam train.
|
|
We had a lovely day out on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. First stop Grosmont, to look at the engine shed.
|
|
A second train then took us on to Pickering.
|
|
Arran slept on the journey.
|
|
The scenery was beautiful - it's a very lush green at this time of year.
|
|
The chapel at Pickering Castle.
|
|
Heading back across the moors (with Arran asleep again)
|
|
Our steed leaving Whitby station to head back to the engine sheds.
|
|
We let Arran stay up and have dinner with us - you can see how keen he is on fish!
|
|
The headland at the East side of the harbour.
|
|
Arran was up at 6am so he and I went exploring.
|
|
Light Tower.
|
|
Arran was introduced to the kids rides at the amusement arcade. He appears unsure.
|
|
Not much more convinced by this one...
|
|
Harbour Mouth
|
|
Port Marker
|
|
West Cliff, where the fancy folks stay.
|
|
The older houses on the east side are a much more interesting jumble!
|
|
Plenty of takeaways, plenty of seagulls. Cause and effect?
|
|
Arran is a bit unsure about ice cream too.
|
|
Whitby Town Centre behind some fishing boats.
|
|
Pretty little boat.
|
|
A new fishing vessel under construction - one of two that will be registered in Lerwick from the looks of the markings.
|
|
Rough seas at the harbour mouth - the reason we didn't get out on a boat for a pleasure cruise.
|
|
Whitby beach looks pretty windswept too.
|
|
Not sure what such a Scottish looking thistle was doing in Whitby, but it made us feel at home.
|
|
Private. I peeked though...
|
|
Arran was introduced to the teacup ride at a fair in Scarborough.
|
|
He was also introduced to paddling, which he thought was great fun...
|
|
..even when his mummy picked him up out of the bigger waves!
|
|
A lovely day for the beach.
|
|
Arran tries eating sand for the first time - a mistake he will only make once judging by his expression.
