Birthday

For my 67th birthday weekend Danielle had booked us into a cottage in Staithes, a North Yorkshire coastal village of amazing geography and history. It was also host to a ferocious version of Storm Darragh that meant we could barely leave the cottage. No matter, it was a great place to be, and to explore best we could. Then there was a power cut, and we opted for discretion over valour, and came home through floods in the dark. 

In the midst of this adventure we had a fantastic lunch at the Cod & Lobster pub at the harbour; best pub food I'd had for years. The storm was so bad that I failed to get a single photo of the village, but here we both are at our lunch date. Layla is under the table waiting to charm the staff.
