This Should Have Been A Post All About Whitby....

 
 
 
 
Well My Lovelies, this really should have been the post where I told you all about my adventures in Whitby. About the beautiful sunny weather, gorgeous apartment overlooking the sea, the great company, food and good wine....how the weekend had done me good, complete de stress!
 
 
But, I'm afraid, it just wasn't meant to be, Whitby didn't happen! As we were packing up the car to leave, my friends little dog, Alfie, got out the house and was hit by a car. Luckily he wasn't killed, but he is still very poorly.
 
 
Little Bea too was ill, with a tummy bug, so all in all not the weekend we had in mind! We did however manage a little 'de stress' during the weekend. As you can imagine, we both felt pretty glum on Saturday, not as glum I hasten to add, as Alfie....or Little Bea, who was languishing on the sofa. So that afternoon, when we knew Alfie was going to be ok....and Little Bea had managed to keep some food in her tummy, we took off to the cinema.
 
 
We went to watch Pride, and I must say, it was one of the most uplifting, hilarious films I've ever seen. We laughed through the whole film, except of course, the sad bits, where we sobbed....not brilliant when you've only popped the smallest amount of tissues in your bag!
 
We sang along to the 80s tunes and reminisced at the fashions.....and then at the end of the film we clapped and cheered. Hooray for Gay Rights, hooray for the miners, hooray for the good in human beings! You get my drift. I will add at this point, there were only 9 people in the cinema, and 7 of them were very quiet!
 
 
We followed this with a bite to eat....and something very nice to drink, so not a complete disaster.
 
 
So yes, not quite what I had in mind, but then I know all about how things can change, and how it feels that when Christmas has been cancelled, you make the most of that one present, you just happened to buy in the January sales!

 

 

 

 
 
So these are my plans for today, reading and a bit of crochet, and Whitby, well we will try again soon.....we don't give up easily!
 
 
Bye For Now,
 
 
Ada :) xxx

  1. What a total bummer. Sometimes it's just not meant to be, is it? I hope Little Bea and Alfie are now ok and recovering nicely. At least you managed to salvage something from the day - I've heard Pride is really good and I think that, politically, it's right up my street, so I'm glad you liked it too. xx

  2. Oh no, how awful! I hope they are both much better now. It was good that you were able to get a little something out of your weekend. The film sounds like good fun to watch.

  3. I hope that enjoying the film helped to offset the disappointment of not getting to Whitby. It must be 30 years since I went and now that I am in Wales will probably not go again. I love the East Coast and have spent many holidays walking along it. Fingers crossed that you make it on the next try.

  4. Sounds like you made the very best of it. A friend of mine has seen Pride and loved it too. Definitely going to try to see that one as the eighties are 'my' era. Hope your daughter and the little dog are making a good recovery.

  9. Chin up chum! Glad to hear Little Bea is better and hope little Alfie is also feeling better also. Although the weekend wasn't perfect it's times like these that you will remember funnily enough, the times when it didn't go to plan but you did something unexpected and enjoyed a quirky film. Take care of yourself too!
