Gorgeous

The cafe on the cliffs above Thornwick Bay

How gorgeous it was to ramble upon chalky Flamborough Head on such a diamond day. The witch doctors of meteorology got it right.  It felt like the very last day of summer. I didn't even need to don a jacket.

This morning I set out with Tony at 9 a.m., heading north. The four mile route took in Thornwick Bay before cutting inland to Flamborough village and then back to Nightingale Cottage via the road to North Landing.

Tony drove back to Beverley at midday. He had a bowling match this afternoon -  the last of the season.

South Landing

After lunch, Shirley and I headed south on a  longer walking route that took us to Flamborough's two lighthouses and then on to the little bay known as South Landing where the village's lifeboat  is housed, awaiting possible marine emergencies.

Then we trudged up the rising access lane that brought us into the village. We enjoyed well-deserved  cooling drinks in "The Rose and Crown" before completing the circle at our accommodation.

Prize winning fish and chips this evening from "The Lighthouse" fish and chip shop. The end of a gorgeous day.
