Day 13 & 14 - A nice weekend

Didn't weigh in yesterday as I'd been staying in York all weekend and didn't want to use different scales as I did last week. Anyway on my return home this morning I jumped on the scales to reveal no change (still 215lb) which was pleasing because we had a busy day yesterday.

During the day we decided to have a ride out to Whitby, had a nice stroll around and it was very busy. Fr those that don't no Whitby is a famous Yorkshire coastal town from which a certain Captain James Cook was based before discovering half the world. We actually had a trip to sea on a replica of one of Cooks ships HMS Endevour, apparently it was 40% the size of the origional.
Its also the town that inspired Bram Stoker to write the Dracula Novel.

Last night we went out into the city and tried a Italian restaurant we hadn't been to previously and it was great we both really enjoyed our meals (and the wine we washed it down with). One confession I did succumb and have a sweet, had a piece of Cheesecake but it did have blueberry on so was virtually classed as a fruit dish, lol.
