In my world I'm always out as me.
The traffic was really bad travelling along the A64 just south of York along the Scarborough road for miles.
The scenery along stretches of this route took us over Saddleworth Moors in Lancashire, a very hilly area with sheep farms even though it's near to the Towns of Oldham and Rochdale and also well into the North Yorks National Park where much purple Heather and horses was spotted. They were beautiful at this time of year.
Because we were really late arriving the first step had to be fix food fast as I was starting to space out -the perils of running short on spoons - so I called in at Trenchers fish and chip restaurant on New Quay Road, Whitby for fried plaice, English chips and several drinks of tea with brown sugar while I took some tablets.
It won awards in 2011 and 12 and upon tasting my late lunch, it is not hard to see why for the fish caught on the day by fishing line was most tasty and the chips had a good not greasy taste to them.
Time was running short as because of drive hours issue with the driver we needed to be back at bus for 17:00 hrs I only had the chance to look at a couple of charity stores briefly before getting something to eat as we wouldn't be stopping off on the return trip.
That's the Bridge that links the harbour to the old town where many of the shops are to be found in small streets, some cobbled. As befits a Port, there were places selling fresh fish!
Whitby Harbour. As you can see it was very sunny day with quite as number of boats moored.
I had to use the 105mm moderate telephoto of this camera to capture this and carefully crop it later. Thankfully the more megapixels your image has, the better the result even if you use only a small proportion of the original image.
Finally an overview of the harbour.
It was a interesting day out even though it had taken rather a lot out of me physically as I hadn't been in the North East of England ever. One just wishes to had the time to see more of Whitby.

Kerrera caught my attention while moored with its bold colours and flags
