Easter Eggs

The supermarket and the shops are either good at managing their stock or they are keen on clearing up their seasonal items.  We were not able to find much after Easter sale in the shop.  There are some online, but the shipping be an additional cost.  It's probably not worth it.

Coupon Hunting

As I was doing research on our travel destination, I came across some coupons.  There is absolutely no reason why we can't expand the travel research to coupon hunting.  We travel like a local!

Flying Pizza

I always knew of Flying Pizza in Roundhay, but never been.  Austin was just talking about it last week.  This time we went with AVEN.  The food was pricey, with reasonably good quality.  In general the food was quite rich.

Willie's Indonesian Gold

Sarah for me a taster pack of Willie's.  I am interested in trying as I never had Willie's before.  I knew exactly where to start, the one that is probably worst.  And it was.  Very much an acquired taste, like over cooked chocolate.

Ampleforth Abbey

I have been meaning to visit Ampleforth Abbey.  So this weekend was the perfect opportunity as it is en-route from Whitby home.  The ground is quite, and tea shop was okay.  The abbey was probably shut for service, and we did not get to see it.  Next time when we revisit, it should hopefully be more lively.

Sunny Whitby with Kippers

We went to Whitby early in the morning to have the Fortune's Kippers at Botham's of Whitby.  We arrived in good time, and parked up easily.

The kippers turned up.  They were super smoky, and full of bones.  I was not expecting so much bones!  Sarah enjoyed the kippers.  I could taste the oak smoke the rest of the day.

We walked around Whitby as always do, but by the time we finished our brunch, Whitby was exceedingly crowded, full of people and dogs.  And one dog walked into me.  This weekend was also Easter National Scooter Rally.

By the time we got back to the car park, car park was full.  The road was full of caravan, scooters and motorcycles.  We were so glad we came and done Whitby and avoided the manic.

Human Child Habitat

Over the Easter weekend, most attractions will be overrun by human children.  Richard suggests going to Tropical World, and there is absolutely no way I will go this weekend!
