beside the seaside beside the sea.......

The school summer holidays are now rapidly approaching. The private schools broke up last week & the state schools at the end of next. In laymen's terms, this means that that all roads for the next 6 weeks will lead to the coast.

Quickly scanning through the caravan bookings for the season, it is interesting how most of our visitors are from, south & west Yorkshire, Derbyshire a few from Lancashire. Very few in fact from the south or west of England. Both rail & road access to the East Yorkshire coast are good, but it seems to be an area overlooked by many.

The east Yorkshire coast is the ideal spot for the good old bucket & spade holiday. We must have one of the longest beaches anywhere. The sands stretch from Bridlington in the north to Spurn Point in the south, jutting out into the Humber Estuary. All along the coast are small seaside towns, such as Withersea & Hornsea, offering the good old fashioned family holiday. Nothing too fancy just plenty of sand and a safe beach. Accommodation along the coastal area can be found in a variety of smart B & Bs to holiday parks suitable for all pockets. Some have seriously smart mobile homes, most sites come complete with swimming pools, restaurants entertainments. They want for nothing.

I must say that l am so lucky to live here by the sea in Holderness. Moving north from Gloucestershire all those years[hic] ago l have been amazed at the diversity of landscape that abounds here. From the long golden beaches to the undulating Yorkshire Wolds, the white cliffs of Flamborough to the rugged landscapes of the North York Moors. There is something here for everyone.

Oh, the headless man is my mate Mr J Fisher with one of his freshly caught sea trout. He also catches sea bass, mackerel, dab, lemon sole & cucumber fish to name but a few!
