Whitby and what it has to offer

27th August 2009

We decided that having not visited the area for a few years we’d head back up to Whitby to spend some time camping. My parents first introduced us to the Whitby area after they’d spent many years going on holiday there themselves and so a few years back we decided that we’d see what they were so entranced by. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to go back again. We went up on the Thursday and my parents would be coming up on the Saturday, which meant we had a few days to mill around and do some walking before being shown the sites and pubs (yay for pubs)

Having got there on the Thursday, we set up our tent on the Beacon Farm campsite (which is a great place to stay if you like ice-cream) and drove into Whitby – this meant we could get food and have a look around, Bob was particuarly thrilled to see a tall ship, The Grand Turk.

Bob loves Mr B’s

30th October 2008
Each year when Bob goes down to Hayle in Cornwall he has to visit Mr B’s – for Bob this actually means multiple visits, no matter how cold the weather gets.

Bob loves Mr B's - he thinks it's the best place to be.

Mr B’s has to be the best place to buy hand made (or any other way of making it) ice cream in Cornwall.   There are always so many delicious flavours to choose from (and they’re all handmade by the folks at Mr B’s).  And for those who find it hard to decide, you could have a selection of flavours.  You can have cones or a sundae and there’s a choice of toppings as well. The best thing is that the ice-cream contains bits of the flavour.   So if you choose a strawberry ice-cream, they’ll be bits of strawberries in it and if you choose a turkish delight one, you’ll have small bits of turkish delight in it.

Unfortunately this place does have to close (thankfully not when Bob visits though).  So over the winter months you won’t be able to visit, but they do open for a week at Christmas, so you can take home a tub of your favourite flavour and i’m sure it’ll make a great dessert for after christmas dinner.
