Still Searching

(Posted later at home. I decided to post all my back posts in one go to get back to the present)

On Monday morning we checked out of the Grand Hotel in Whitby two days early. Mum and I packed up the cars and then left my grandparents and drove down to the front in my car so I could buy some postcards as I like the pictures on them. We then went and got some hot doughnuts because I’d promised my mum she’d have one. After we’d had the doughnuts we drove to Whitby. It was a bit of a nightmare finding somewhere to park but because of the disabled badges we could park on a double yellow line. Miraculously Mr Chips had a table so we went into the restaurant. I had Cod and chips it was very tasty, I seem to say that a lot.

After lunch we drove to the hotel. It’s nice to look at, got a huge car park but is a bit quiet a night, I had trouble sleeping as it was too quiet and too dark. I ran all the batteries in my torch down having it on all night. The internet here is very cheap too. Just £15 for the whole time I’m here which is cheap compared to other hotels who charge something like that per hour or something. For dinner last night I had a hot beef baguette with gravy which was also very tasty.

Tuesday morning I had crunchy nut cornflakes for breakfast, I’d forgotten how much I liked them. My grandparent’s friends are coming to the hotel for lunch and mum says we’ll go ride on a local heritage train this afternoon. It’s not steam but it’s a pretty route apparently so it could be nice.

Speaking from a later point of view the train ride was actually not nice. It was just a regular train, nothing heritage about it really. The seats were very uncomfortable and it was raining a lot so it was difficult to see. Some other people, also old friends of my grandparents turned up as well and one of them, the wife of an old teacher colleague kissed me on my cheek. I’m pretty big on personal space and she just couldn’t take a hint. I was glad to leave to avoid her but apart from that the afternoon was a bit of a waste really. I feel a little guilty that I didn’t enjoy it more. Oh well home tomorrow, I’m rather looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
