Memories




Of all the photos I pin on Pinterest, this is the one that gets the most attention. It has been re-pinned so many times that I thought I would share my memories of it with you dear bloggers.
It is of Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire. When I was growing up we lived in Yorkshire and went here on holiday. I was probably about six years old at the time, and my memories are of sharing bunk beds for the first time in the tiny holiday cottage we rented; sitting on bar stools to eat meals because there was no space for chairs in the kitchen! and of donkey rides every day along the beach. I don't have any more accurate memories from that time but it must have made an indelible impression on me for when I moved back to Yorkshire in my early thirties, and saw a picture hanging in a street market stall I just had to buy it! It hangs in the living room in every place I live since then, and my fondest for the place continues. I've been back many times since, with the children or friends, and it remains unspoilt and beautiful. So go there if you ever get the chance; it will impress you too!!!
