We are feeling the urge .. the urge for fish and chips and some fresh sea air.
In all the time Ollie and I have been together I think this is the longest time away from Whitby we have ever had. We can often found there at Bank Holidays along with several weeks in the year if we can!
As small children we were independently introduced to the area and I personally remember many Whitby holidays and although my Mum may want to ground me for saying this (Phew I am too old) I do remember the time in the caravan on the cliff top with the most horrific wind (which obviously we don’t remember) although what I do remember is waking up to find my Mum our dog on the floor in the morning!
Since getting together this really has been our special place, the place where we took refuge after finding out we were expecting Joshua and using the fresh air and time to get our heads round the fact we were going to be parents together on a special stone that we still look for and try to sit on every time we get there.
We have also been lucky enough to get to go every few months while I was pregnant and ever since. Joshua’s first trip was at the tender age of 4 weeks old when we spent a whole week there and got to sit on our stone.
In 2012 we even eloped to Whitby to marry with just our Children. It was the most beautiful day, no pressure and no stress just us becoming Mr and Mrs with the stunning views and some fish and chips….. just perfect.
Not matter come rain or shine this is our special place that the highs and the lows the Oliver’s come across are talked through, laughed and lived in this beautiful location.
Some of our most special memories have been made here and hopefully many more to come. I am not sure what it is about this place that makes us feel so at home but the moment we are out the car we are really are home.

I love Whitby too – love your pictures, they’re making me yearn for a trip myself.
its such a fab place isnt it xx
That is a lovely post and lovely photos. So nice to have a special place. Ours is Padstow. We spend a week there every year and it feels like home too. As soon as we arrive it’s like a weight has been lifted from our shoulders.
thats exactly the same feeling for us its so nice to have somewhere that does that isnt it x
Whitby is gorgeous, definitely one of our favourite places. Nice that you have so many great memories of it.
yay there seems to be lots of Whitby lovers 🙂 do you get to go often? x
It’s great that you all have a special place xxx
thanks Lisa, do you have one?
Aw this is a lovely post and what a lovely place that must hold such special memories for you! Great pictures too and thanks for hosting xx
awww honey thank you, do you have a place thats special for you? xx
How lovely to have such a special place, we married at a fort in Cornwall – just us knowing I was expecting, I’d love to go back there with the children one day. xx
That would make a fantastic trip Emily you should do it if you can x
What a gorgeous place, and how adorable how you guys wed!! Sounds just perfect. Weddings these days seem to be filled with more stress of pleasing other people than just getting married to the one you love. But you guys rocked it!!!
thanks Debs, thats why we chose just to do it for us 🙂 xx
I love Whitby – I think it’s lovely that it’s such a special place for you, somewhere you can always return and share your special times. I hope your stone stays forever 🙂
awww thanks Jenny we would be lost without our stone! even to sit on it jut a few minutes it makes me feel complete x
What wonderful memories you have here, and I hope you make many more x
awww thanks honey xxx
