This weekend

Some of the 2mm FS guys use Chinchilla dust as ballast so if there is a Pet shop near the beach...  Surely the Missus wants to see the cuddly bunny wabbits...

Also mrs Greybeema asked me what happens to the random pieces of wood I buy whenever we go to the local DIY shop...  Ooops didn't think she noticed...

We actually pass "Bunnyland" on the way, I'll pop in! 

I know the feeling; whilst 'sowing the seeds' for a negotiation on a bridge purchase, Mrs TC offered to 'make out out of driftwood'

Sandsend's a great place to blow away the cobwebs. I've been there on a few occasions and always had a drenching from spectacular seas!

It's my favourite place in the world 
And, I'm lucky enough to be *so* close to it, those 'spectacular seas' splash on my bedroom window!

You could go to Aberavon beach off Port Talbot, then you can have sun, sea, sand and the smell of heavy metalwork, and oil

Huh !  Ilkley must have moved since the last time I was there.

That must be damned uncomfortable - don't they have any rooms

Is it your camera-work or the Guinness making it fuzzy?

I've got an old BR travel poster for Sandsend on one of the walls in my railway shed , reminder of a happy holiday I spent in the area (based at Staithes)  exactly 7 years ago . It must have been fab when the line made its way along the coast . According to my "Lost Railways of North & East Yorkshire" the line closed in 1958....too expensive on the maintenance side !! Lovely place . Cheers , Ric

The railway used to run right behind our property, which was then a hotel. Sandsend had a couple of trestle bridges and still has the old station up on the cliff about 200yds from us.
I'll dig out and post some pics when I get back.
........I also have a pic of a cracking letter to the Whitby Gazette about the lack of sand at Staithes; I'll post that too.


Y'all enjoy your weekends, I'm on my way!

I remember when we were there I bought some b&w photos in a touristy shop on the front (just down from where you live) of the line , including the trestle at Sandsend & the one at Staithes . Coming back over (for the first time since that summer, when we stayed in a little cottage at Cowbar) at the beginning of August , to stay 3 nights in a hotel at Runswick Bay....Amazon Local offer .
