East Yorkshire

Eightieth Birthday Celebrations

Ashley, grandma and Alice Saturday 2 October 2010

We had a hectic weekend in Yorkshire, with family, celebrating Steve's mum's 80th birthday. The surprise celebrations started with a family meal at the Mill House restaurant, Skidby Mill. We calculated It's the first time in about 15 years that all eleven of us had sat down to a meal together, how that time flies! We couldn't stay long because Alice had to get back to University.

Alice at Bridlington

Just got back from a few days in the north of England, visiting relatives. We paid a quick visit to my sister in Worksop. For posterity I  took a photograph of the street we grew up on. Next we went to stay with Steve's mum in South Cave, a village in East Yorkshire. One of the days there we spent at the seaside, at Bridlington on the East Yorkshire coast. We have fond memories of this very cosy traditional English seaside town. We holidayed there as children with buckets and spades and as a teenager it was my first holiday without parents.
