nous sommes le dimanche vingt cinq octobre

We hear in our part of France the weather is good. Here in Whitby we arrived around 5pm yesterday and immediately unloaded the car to find out our puffa/ parka jackets. Whitby harbour is as vibrant and fishy smelling as we remember. For Malc and I it brings back memories of our childhood. For the Southern born grandchildren it is a culture shock, with the 8 year old asking " what language do they speak?" and the 14 year old seeing streams of " goths" said " do they all look like this up North?"

This week leading up to Halloween is apparently "goth week"

Perceptions changed for the better when we found a  very smart fish and chip shop and had " fish, chips and mushy peas".

Whitby Goth Weekend is the name of the 2 day (Friday and Saturday) Goth music festival held in the Spa Pavilion, Whitby. Although the term “Whitby Goth Weekend” is now used universally to describe all the events during the week in Whitby as a whole, including official and unofficial events that run from Thursday till Monday.         Comments to taglines82@gmail.com
