N Yorks Christmas Meal and Lemon Tops.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Does anyone fancy joining me on either Saturday 2nd or Saturday 9th December in Scarborough.

Proposal is to go get something to eat at a place to be agreed followed by the amusements to spend our loose change and Lemontop ice creams.  

[Ali and Gail]

Sorry, we'll be in Bangkok 

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Right....Meet on the 2nd December outside the Weatherspoons opposite Scarborough railway station at 1.00pm. I am suggesting the Weatherspoons as the food was ok last time and it was a good atmosphere. We can then walk down to the harbour for the amusements, bowling, ice creams etc, etc, etc. There is car parking close by and its only a few pounds. If anyone wants to meet at mine and travel through together then thats fine. I am near Filey.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Just a reminder.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Well....Its getting close......its this Saturday.

[Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO]

Sorry Geoffrey, can't make it. I'm in Manchester with the Manchester lot.

What a brilliant day.

Started with getting up at 4.15am with a drive to Meet Gary and Trina for breakfast at 7.00am in Darlington.

We had the best breakfast ever at the Toby Carvery in Darlington and it even had Yorkshire puddings that had bacon in the mix including beef gravy. All the food was really clean and tasty....bit like me. 

Cannot believe that Gary and Trina have had a 900  mile round trip just to join us in Scarborough for the day. 

We travelled back to my house for coffee and mince pies via Castle Howard and the snow covered hills of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Plenty of banter ensued and I learnt that there are various words in the american language [Trina is american] that do not mean the same thing as here.....much to our amusement.

We met up with Malc and Di who both have a great sense of humour and we got on really well.

We took Trina to see the sea as she lives hundreds of miles from the coast and made our way to Scarborough.

We met Dave and Russell in Scarborough and food, drinks, laughs, amusements, lemon top ice creams, milky coffees all at various establishments followed, including a relaxing walk around the harbour area.

We even had scares in Terror Tower where Di through her arms around me as she was scared by a dinosaur....I think the dinosaur was an excuse though.

We passed a great "kit" camper van on the sea front.

Anyway...we had a great day and I would like to thank everyone for coming.

Here are a few pictures of our day.
