I love those "then and now" things. <br />By the way since you posted about pubs closing I've started noticing how many there are up for sale - even ones that seemed to be thriving a couple of years ago. <br />I hope you enjoy your break.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-46144713384795609252012-04-16T08:55:05.449+01:002012-04-16T08:55:05.449+01:00Will you wear your top hat?Will you wear your top hat?diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-5915467526403373882012-04-16T08:06:54.767+01:002012-04-16T08:06:54.767+01:00Maybe a good idea to check-out that viewpoint BEFO...Maybe a good idea to check-out that viewpoint BEFORE having a beer.

How do I know, since I have lived in Southern California for the last forty years? I lived on Flamborough Head in my teens, only about 15 feet from the cliffs edge and the spot is still there, (tho' not the house). I have a great many historical post cards of Flamborough and one or two of Bridlington. I've been back a good number of times. If I were thirty years younger and could handle the winters I'd go back like a shot. (Though I have to say I do love where I live now, but oh, Flamborough has my heart! Does your grandfather have any old postcards of Flamborough, I wonder. I think I have collected almost all that are available. Have a great time in Scarborough, but do a day trip to Flamborough Lighthouse. I think I'll have my ashes scattered there!!!ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-4082006073084732552012-04-15T22:46:58.253+01:002012-04-15T22:46:58.253+01:00Well you had me at the word ‘donkey’ - as you may ...Well you had me at the word ‘donkey’ - as you may remember I love these gentle creatures.....so please don’t go hitching a ride Alan!

There's something about the English seaside town. I want to stay at the big hotel which overlooks the sea. I think it's called the Grand. To be served tea and scones in a lounge and pretend I'm in a Poirot movie, something like that.
