Whitby and Wollaton days

We have been away for a couple of days in Whitby. While we were on the way up we were treated to the snow and a few slippy roads especially across the moor from Pickering to Whitby. We dropped in at Jac's tutors gallery ,which is lovely and displays her tutors own work and others. It's in the newer part of Whitby and called the "art cafe" amazing what she has produced out of fabrics which she dyes herself.  It was a cold time there though and we were expecting a lot more snow but to be quite honest we were thankful it didn't come as it made it easier for coming home,although across the moor it had settled well and was a little bit hairy sliding about at times.We dropped in at Pickering on the way back for a bite to eat and check out the second hand book store where no book is over three quid (great value) Jac managed to pick up three books and me ,I don't know what to read at the moment ,so any ideas let me know.  Then we headed over to Helmsley to have a look in the "look gallery "  amazing artists at realistic prices and always a treat to look around.Today I have done my long run an 18 miler over to Wollaton park and back along the Robin hood way as far as Awsworth then back across the old screens at Bennerley , just a 12 -15 miler tomorrow probably along the canal.  Been down the allotment and managed to get parsnips and leeks out the ground without having to resort to using a crowbar.  I was quite surprised as the temperature gauge at our house hasn't been above -1 all day. So up to now a productive day.
