Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

Seen as its was the hottest day we've had of the year so far, plus the first day off Mike and I have had together for two months, it only seemed appropriate to head to the coast. Whitley Bay being the usual coastal town of choice we thought we would break from the habit and make our way to Sunny Scarborough

.

Despite a slight wrong turn (by that I mean we drove for 30 minutes in the wrong direction and had to drive 30 minutes back, which is amazing because the road from Ripon to Scarborough is pretty much straight!) we arrived by lunchtime.

We had a little wander around to get our bearings and found it to be just what you would expect from a English coastal town on a sunny day, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. There were lots of arcades and tat (I love tat) and cockles (I love cockles), hey, it’s the seaside! What’s the seaside without a stick of rock and a magnet?!

Here are a few of our (one day) holiday snaps
