With the jobs all lined up and a bit of a waiting game in play we decided to head off for a week or so, before the schools kick out and everywhere gets crazy busy. After a bit of mulling we decided to head to the tiny ex-mining village of Skinningrove - we had only been there once years ago, it isn't too far from home and we suspected, correctly, that it would be quiet. The week there was very pleasant, we went walking every day, along beaches, across clifftops and up on the moors. We stopped in a recently refurbed building - there were twelve apartments and despite it being the first week of the school holiday, we were the only people there.

Our touristing day was a visit to Staithes - pleasant enough, but way too busy for our liking plus the place was really smelly (and noisy) with all the gulls. We gave the honeypots of Whitby and Redcar a miss.
We visited Sherri's brother Mike on the way home in Stokesley - he retires next week and joins the leisured classes - welcome aboard.
