Visited the seaside resort of Whitby during my week off work. Had a great time in the adopted home of Dracula.
It was my first time in Whitby and I made sure I visited some book shops and a fish and chip shop.
I also climbed the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey and the church at the top of the hill. I even bought the above book Raven Blood Eye by Giles Kristian. An author I follow and have previously bought his Lancelot series.
Enjoy the below photos of Whitby.

Hey Folks
At the weekend had a trip to the quite famous town of Holmfirth.
Most famous for being the setting for the long running BBC sitcom Last of the Summer Wine. A sitcom I enjoyed as a youngster, which followed the adventures of our retired heroes, Foggy, Cleggy and Compo.
Holmfirth seems to have more shops, cafes and pubs since I last visited when I was about ten years old.
It seems like Huddersfield's version of Hebden Bridge.
Went to the Elephant and Castle pub for a great pint of Coors and a hanging kebab.
Visited Read. A quaint book shop. It was a stark contrast to the old book shop I had been to earlier in the day.
Visited Daisy Lane Books. A very old and cobwebbed book store, which I'm sure was owned by a wizard and his cats.
It seemed older than the old book shops I usually visit in York. Sadly I didn't find a book I needed.
Went to look at Sids Cafe, which was in most of the Last of the Summer Wine episodes.
