Blogs from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, Europe

So I just came back from a short break in Scarborough. Now for those that know me, they will know how much I love Scarborough and its surrounding areas. I used to take family holidays there growing up so the place holds a lot of special memories for me. So anyway my sister and I did a LOT of walking and visited the Sea Life Centre, played some crazy golf, took a long walk along the coast and we also went to Whitby for the day. Unfortunately due to mist I didnt take ay pics in Whitby...I did however get a very cool Anchorman tshirt :D ... read more

Its a fallacy to say that it does naught but rain in the UK. This is of course not the case-it's only true on most occasions! But on those rare days when the sun does shine and the sky is blue, England for me becomes a bewitching place of sparkling beauty. It just doesn't happen quite often enough for my liking!

Well back on to the trip We went to Scarborough ... read more

6-am saw me getting out of bed on this Mayday bank holiday and walking the dog. Actually I’d been awake since 5-am because I’d set the alarm wrong and kept hitting the snooze button for an hour. Once back home I had a bit of a snackette just to have something inside me to take me up to my breakfast after the ride through to Scarborough. I wheeled my Honda VFR750 out of the garage, please that I’d sorted the problem with the headlamps the night before. Putting it on the main stand I gave the chain a liberal dose of chain lube and checked the adjustment. I would have liked the bike to be a little bit cleaner but time was against me, apart from calling for fuel and checking the tyre pressures I ... read more
