Women of Whitby

Today was a rare day off for me. We opened on Sunday for the season and are already fully booked for the coming weekend. So, I took the opportunity to escape, leaving Mark behind to hold the fort! 😀

The first is Our Lasses - Inspirational Women of Whitby. It celebrates women associated with the town - everyone from St Hilda, Abbess of Whitby in the 600s, to Beth Mead, professional footballer and lioness!
