Another film and dinner out

Work has been really busy lately. We open for the season tomorrow, so decided to take advantage of being able to get off site today.

We went to Abbey Wharf in Whitby old town for something to eat. It's a very popular restaurant right on the waterfront. We've been meaning to try it for ages. We hadn't booked and found it to be absolutely heaving when we got there! Luckily, a waitress felt sorry for us and showed us to a table upstairs which was free for just an hour. This suited us as we were going to the cinema later.

The food was OK, but the best part about Abbey Wharf was the people watching! There were some real characters in the place and the noise was deafening! From our vantage point on the balcony, we were entertained by people using the self-service bar just below us to pull their own pints!

After eating, we walked up to Whitby Pavilion to watch Boys in the Boat, the story of the University of Washington's rowing team who defied the odds to win gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It was a riveting and uplifting story.

We had to get a taxi back to site as we had missed the last bus!Read more
