Off to the Sea
On our way out today we saw a white horse on a hillside. There are a few of these across the country side.
Stately Homes look fine, Wombats of course feel that a good warm burrow is sufficient but its interesting to see how the well off live. This is Castle Howard, a home in Yorkshire.
Peacocks as pets, not a patch on Wombats of course.
The home is notable in that it was used for the production of "Brideshead Re-Visited"
We headed to Scarborough not to the "Scarborough Fair" but to the Scarborough Castle. The keep above was blown apart in an attack.
The castle overlooks the ocean and there were great views from here.
Up on the opposite hill is the ruin of an abbey. The abbey is still magnificent even in ruin.
Down on the seafront is a typical English seaside with amusement arcades and donkey rides
and the TARDIS (again) the Doctor really does get around doesn't he !
We travelled north from Scarborough to Whitby where we saw the Whitby museum, which contained many interesting things, including some of Captain Cooks manuscripts
more soon....
