Walking and swimming

Every Monday this year so far, I've been walking 🚶‍♀️ into Whitby to go swimming 🏊‍♂️ at the leisure centre. It's been nice to get off site and get some fresh air. Mark has stayed behind to look after things at work.

I've enjoyed exploring new streets, especially Flowergate (photos attached to this footprint 👣). I've also found a great lunch spot - Jet Black Jewel - which serves interesting brunch dishes.

A couple of times, I've added a visit to see a matinée at Whitby Pavilion. Two weeks ago, I saw Napoleon. Today, I watched One Life, the very moving true story of Nicholas Winton, who saved 669 Jewish children in World War II. Anthony Hopkins was brilliant in the lead role.

I intend to continue with these weekly excursions. I'm looking forward to seeing the changing seasons in the countryside as I walk into town. Already, there are signs of spring. I saw my first snowdrops this morning 😀.Read more
