Feb. 19th, 2008 04:37 pmHere's some photos from my birthday trip to Whtiby and places more north than that even.
View from my brother's sitting room at Staithes. It's so calming being in that room, I adore it.

Looking back to the village from the seabed, when the tide is out. Theses are huge beds of shale. The one I'm on is called penny steel.

My brother's place is on this street, about a minute's walk further up. The harbour has a tiny beach and a cafe called the Sea Drift, where they serve lattes and something called coble cake, and amazing coffee cake.

My brother's place, with palm tree hanging grimly on to life

Me on Whitby Pier, after delicious chips! The circular green shed on legs is a small lighthouse.

Eleanor K's ideal cafe. We didn't go in, sadly. It was closing just as we arrived

The stylish and tasteful Dracula museum was also closed, alas. I can see Nosfertu in the guttering.

This is back in Reading. Not for my birthday, but for my friends' 10 year anniversary party at the weekend: cheesecake of love

The party also had added extra cheese: the cheeseboard has no fewer than FIVE blue cheeses. I find this remarkable.

Finally, the doom of socks and pants. M&S, please don't encourage men to do this.
