8th June 2013 - Last Day In Scarborough

Today was my last day in Scarborough with Leigh-Anne. We had a lazy start to the day. We slept in late and then lounged about in our pyjamas for a few hours. After lunch, we decided to go down to the sea front to take some photos.





I stood in front of the sea and flipped my hair about for Leigh-Anne - you'll be able to see this soon, once she's fixed her laptop - and I took a few pictures of her and the view. I attempted the Brenizer method, but I didn't have enough crossover between my shots and Photoshop couldn't knit it together properly.

I'll be giving it  another go soon.
On the way back to her flat, we stopped by in a park and took some photos of the flowers.





Had a hell of a journey home. My train from York to Sheffield was delayed by an hour and half after a fatality on the track literally five minutes in front of us. I ended up taxi-ing across Wakefield to get a different train. It stopped at literally every stop and was full of drunk people. I eventually got into Sheffield about 11pm, where I met Jason. He'd been waiting there for me since half 8...

7th June 2013 - Whitby

Today Leigh-Anne had a job interview at Whitby Abbey, so we decided to make a day of it. We took the bus across the Yorkshire Moors, along winding roads and up and down the hills. We drove past Robin Hood Bay which looked absolutely beautiful in the sun, but I didn't manage to get a photo of it - literally every time I pressed the shutter a wild tree appeared to get in my way.

When we arrived, we grabbed a sandwich and headed up the 199 steps to the abbey. We spent a few minutes browsing the gift shop before Leigh-Anne was called up for her interview. While I waited for her, I had a wander around the hill and took a few photographs of the bay.

I'd have liked to have got more of the graveyard in the foreground, but there was a massive pile of chicken wire in the way and this was the best I could do.

  

I was taking photos of seagulls in flight when Leigh-Anne called to say she was done. We headed back into the town to have a wander and browse some of the shops.






There was this man singing with a really creepy dancing puppet...
After wandering around for a while, we found a little cake shop to sit in and have afternoon tea. We'd just say down with our tea when Leigh-Anne got a call. It was the abbey telling her that she'd got the job! Talk about a speedy reply! So our tea turned into celebration cakes.


When we'd finished eating we had a look round a few more shops and on the way to the bus I snapped a couple more photos.
