Black Button Necklace

Again inspired by the Whitby visit

and the jet jewelry.

Stewart and I spent Sunday afternoon

in the caravan making a necklace similar

to the one Angie gave me.

Angie, Thank you so much.

These necklaces are not as easy to make as they look.

Lots of jewelry wire and knots in the right place!

Knitted Grey Scarf

I promised myself I wouldn't take ant sewing on holiday

but I did take my knitting.

I have been knitting spiral scarves

recently and there are many downloaderble

patterns available on the internet.

We went into one of the old churches

which were converted into craft and antique emporiums

in the centre of Whitby and I found this

fantastic wool/net.

I had great fun in the evening knitting with it.

Whitby Art Cafe

We had a wonderful lunch out of the wind and rain at

The Art cafe.

The main exhibition to my delight

happened to be a textile artist

and she was in The Gallery.

Judith Reece is a peoples choice winner for Yorkshire,

and by the Exhibition you could see why.

You can see her work on the Art Cafe's website

Pebbles

When your staying by the coast you just have to walk

along the sea and beach comb, don't you!

The Yorkshire coast is Jurassic, so there

are many different types of fossil formations in the rocks

and pebbles. I took many photos, with the intention of

doing some future work of fossilised marine life.

Whitby Abbey through the Whale Bones

This is me on the other headland of Whitby Bay.

I had to hang on for all it was worth

as the North wind was so strong!

We visited the Museums and the

Jet workshops.

The jet jewelry is beautiful but the best pieces were

Victorian and in the Whitby Museum.

Whitby Abbey Ruin

I took so many photographs of

The Abbey as every corner was so interesting

not only because of the structure but the way

the stones have been eroded by the weather.

The history is fascinating

Walk up to Whitby Abbey

We travelled from Withernsea to Whitby,
a couple of hours journey
along the Yorkshire Coast.
This is Jenn and Sophie walking up to the Abbey
in a force nine gale!
Now remember the famous Abbey
is on the edge of a rocky headland of a Bay.
So going near the edge
to look at the view was an experience!
So atmospheric, you can see why
so many Gothic tales were written there,
including Bram Stoker's
'Dracula'.

Oasis!

An Oasis Caravan on a very windy North Sea Coast!

Considering it was a two bedroom it was spacious

and had all what we needed.

Humber Bridge

Driving up to the Humber Bridge!

Sophie then informed us that she hated

bridges and was a little apprehensive!

Her Dad had told her that it was a big bridge!!

She now saw that it wasn't just big it was enormous!

Sophie then along with Jenn and myself took pictures and

sent them to her Dad.

We, by this time was on the bridge and Sophie was fine.

Throughout the holiday we crossed many a bridge

and of course they were easy because they were all small

in relation to The Humber crossing.

Well done Sophie for putting up with our banter

and dealing with a scary bridge issue.

Travels to Yorkshire

Last Friday the Clark Family and Jenn's friend Sophie

made our way up to Yorshire, well we were staying

at The Withernsea Holiday Park, which is technically

in East Riding and on the edge of Humberside!

An eventful journey as the sat navigation system was totally confused

when we had two diversions! long ones too!
