As most of you will know already Whitby is somewhere very special to Ollie and I, it was were we spent the weekend getting excited about finding out we were expecting Joshua, it was also were we eloped too to marry last year.
So this Bank holiday weekend when we were offered the opportunity to stay with my mother and father in law for the Bank holiday weekend in the apartment we so love, we jumped at the chance.
And what amazing weather! normally we pack for the expected rain and biting winds however shorts and t-shirts where the order of the weekend.
Saturday and Sunday consisted of the obligatory ice cream, a lovely meal with the extended family of Oliver’s, Sandcastles, crazy golf and my fave 2p machines!
We did try to book in at the amazing Magpie Cafe for their fish and chips however with being a Bank Holiday we couldn’t even book! so we went to the lovely Hadleys instead.
It was so so lovely to hit the beach without wellies this time we visited and it was lovely to see Joshua build sandcastles with Bethany it was such a lovely moment to watch.
Although we came home earlier than expected (that’s a whole other post yet to come!) I really enjoyed this time on the beach, watching my children interact and play something so simple.
icecream, sandcastles and fish and chips, sounds like a perfect break to me! We had some fab weather too, hope it lasts all summer xx
so gled you got some lovely time together too! i do hope the weather is staying too! x
Whitby sounds great.
Congrats on the anniversary.

thanks honey x
The weather has been amazing. It’s lovely that you got to enjoy the beach minus the winter woolies. Will the Olivers move to Whitby one day? x
gosh we would certainly love too although i think it maybe out of our price range (until we win the lottery) 🙂
I really like Whitby – I went there as a child and it has fond memories for me 🙂
i love it i try to get there at least 3 times a year or we suffer withdrawals lol
Absolutely gorgeous – particularly the sandcastle building one. I really love those happy family moments too – seeing children playing together in their own world. Delighted for you all to enjoy such a very special time x
Awww thank you so so much Sarah x
Looks like you had some glorious weather 🙂
Fantastic photos too

What more could you want from a bank holiday weekend. I’m rather jealous. Hope it wasn’t too bad a reason why you had to return home early x

How fab that you were at the beach for that gorgeous weather! Great sandcastle photo! It sounds like a lovely memorable weekend, even without the yummy fish and chips! xx
