YORKSHIRE: Robin Hood's Bay

 


Yesterday we went to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire coast. It was a my Saturday off and I wanted to drag the parents somewhere. As a coastal resort Robin Hood's bay is very picturesque, with lots of flower boxes, red tiled roofs, quaint little shops, yet its very much a second/holiday home town. It's also the start/end of the coast to coast walk so its always full of tourists or walkers. But there was also a load of Harley Davidson bikers and Morris dancers there yesterday.

The coast along this part is apparently known for it's fossils, not that I would ever know if I had come across one and has lots of rock pools. You have to be really careful with this coast however because the tide can turn really quickly. When we first arrived the two boats in the bottom picture where a long way from the tide, thirty minutes lately there were a long way from the shore. The tide comes in quick and it comes in deep!

Dad treated us too an ice cream - I went for the creamy lemon flavour, it wasn't very lemony but it was tasty all the same! I also seemed to be the only tourist wearing a shirt, I've taken a liking for the tulip style skirt - they slim over my hips somewhat, just annoying how they puff out when you sit down! I also aired my brand new H&M bag. It was the mustard colour that attracted me and the price at only £14.99 and I know a number of bloggers have picked up and wrote about it's appearance in the new A/W catalogue. I brought mine with the excuse that it will fold down really easily to pack into my suitcase.

Hope you all had a nice weekend! Joe got us a nice queen size bed and i've been sorting out a parcel of things to relocate to Detroit. I hope it's not tempting fate too much!

  4. What a delightfully quaint place Robin Hood's Bay looks. I love that cottage and your outfit is adorable, so bright and cheery.
    I don't blame you for getting organised, it's not tempting fate, it's stopping you running around like a headless chicken when you get the go ahead! x

  5. It would make a gorgeous little place for a holiday. Wish i'd dragged JJ there for a weekend or something! It's one to keep in mind at least.

    I know what you mean Vix, half of me wants to organise and sort things and the other part is saying I shouldn't till its properly sorted!

  8. It really was a lovely little place, especially if you get away from the main little street and into the alley ways which are full of flower boxes and people's benches. I could totally hide this week out there x

  11. I love your outfit sooo much. You are adorable. I'm confused though, if the tourists weren't wearing shirts.. what were they wearing!? I sure hope you don't mean people were walking around stark naked! ha That would have been a sight to see for sure.
