A couple of days away without the two most demanding males in my life – son and border collie – was ‘just the job’ as the one I allowed to accompany would say. We headed off to Whitby for a couple of days aimless wandering, sitting in pubs and eating good food. 
We stayed at a delightful B&B – Autumn Leaves - just five minutes amble from the centre of town, albeit a bit testing on the way home as the hills was a bit steep, but not as steep as Steep Hill here in Lincoln. We had a lovely room with stacks of space and nice touches like buttered scones and jam in the room when we returned from ambling. Also, there was a garage in which to put the treasured Boxster.
One of the high spots came early on in the break when we enjoyed a splendid meal on the first night at Green’s, a bistro style restaurant where the boats and skippers that delivered the ingredients for our meal were listed on the menu and chalkboard. If you enjoy fresh fish prepared in an imaginative way then this is the place to eat. We were lucky to get a table, as we had not pre-booked; consequently, we were sat just by the kitchen. This kept hubby entertained as he watched the frenetic activity of the Chef and his assistant – don’t think he was fascinated enough to take up cooking himself though.
The following day was spent wandering from beach to beach in the Boxster then we abandoned it in its garage in the afternoon and went for a pint or three – not done that at that time of day for a while now. During this spot of R&R we got talking to a couple from Wolverhampton similarly escaping parenthood for a few days, clearly a lot of it about!
