30'F

Last night was the first night below freezing point this autumn,
at least it was in my garden!
The weather has turned really miserable this past few days,
then again it always does around bonfire night.

Yesterday we went to Whitby for the day. Whitby is where the River Esk meets the North Sea.
It is on the coast of North Yorkshire. Being from South Yorkshire it is a place I have hardly ever visited. It is an out of the way place to get to from S Yorks.
Being from South Yorkshire I prefer the Lincolnshire coast,
it is easier to get to. Anyway we had a good day out, but I must say it's
not a resort for children there are no amusements!!!

Halloween night.

I think I like Halloween better than Christmas it's more fun.
Saturday we trimmed the hall and stairs to make a horror grotto then
waited for the trick or treaters to come. Una got lbs of sweets in and
didn't we need them. Children and parents came in droves,
all dressed in fancy dress. From 5pm until 8pm it was nonstop,
too many to count everyone liked the grotto,
and the sweets went down well.
