This is Stonegate – we will need another visit later in the year, the city is very photogenic!

Today we are off to Bridlington – we have to leave as the camp site here is fully booked for the weekend.

  1. It does look lovely. Rob would like you to bring him back some viking memorabilia as he thinks his ancestors settled in York! We’re off to Kawerau today. Just to pick up some plants, we hear it isn’t exactly a tourist destination!

  2. Kelby, we looked out for the present Duke of York, but he seems to be keeping a low profile!

    Caroline, why does Rob think his ancestors settled here? Strangely Bridlington IS a tourist destination, but it’s possibly less attractive than Kawerau.

    Kate, no you are a big girl now, they don’t go up to your size.
