We've just come back from 6 days in Chateau H (our caravan) and we have survived intact!
Our first 2 nights we were parked on our friends drive in Filey - a fantastic bungalow holiday home in which the fittings are the late 70s, early 80's intact, for example a brilliant formica kitchen with sliding doors and rose-patterned carpets...I love these glass doors and the display of pottery...
 |
| Filey beach - Lovely weather...a few showers but gloriously warm... |
 |
| I love Swing Boats... |
Beach chalets at Filey... I like the colours...available for hire right on
the beach - Baker's Beach Chalets on the Coble Landing. Another nostalgic
moment, they remind me so much of East Coast holidays with my Nana and Grandad...
 |
| The fantastic view of the Vale of Pickering and the Wolds from Lebberston Touring Park... |
Then we moved on to
Lebberston Touring Park,
a couple of miles outside Filey on the way to
Scarborough - an immaculately run 5* site- highly recommended...

| We thought Sterchi's had closed down, but- hurrah!- thay'd just moved round the corner! |
Long live Sterchi's and their enormous chocolate drops and Rose and Violet creams!
 |
| Beautiful boats at the Coble landing, Filey... |
 |
| Cocoa in Scarboro' - a retro sweet shop with a fab collection of vintage confectionery ephemera in the window... |
My first Wonka Bar (It's my all-time favourite film...)
 |
| "I got a Golden Ticket!" (Don't tell me that they're in every bar...) |
 |
Love this Fudge Shop display with shelves groaning under the weight of goodies, and the pom-pom shelf trim
Sorry for the sweetie and chocolate emphasis in this post - we did do lots more, I promise... |
