It was in his favour too as we have ordered BT Sport both for us and him. He does not like chocolate and GF has done his cake :-D :-D :-D

evening all
I am at work tomorrow in the care industry i cant pick and choose my shifts ,I am off Monday we are off to whitby for the day on a coach lol

Maz, Whitby will certainly blow the cobwebs away according to the forecast ;-) :-D :-D :-D. I am jealous as no doubt you will have the lovely fish :-D :-D :-D

i think the weather may miss the area however I am looking forward to the fish lol
its too skim us i think

Hi Maz, I hope Whitby is ok weatherwise on Monday. Enjoy the day. I'm jealous as well of the fish'n'chips :-D

LG, you can send the chocolate over here then ;-) ;-)

Sorry to learn you're not 100% too many shifts. You need a holiday. Iv'e never been to Whitby. Wasn't it often used as a setting for the TV series The Royal and Heartbeat?

hello everyone else. Overcast today, but its milder.

David you havn't lived its not far either,it was the setting for heartbeat ,I love it there it reminds me of home when i am there

Goathland just out of Whitby was the setting for the village scenes and it still has the Garage and shops with props etc from the series. Well worth a visit.

What a pity that Heartbeat finished. I used to love the series and the music!! We did the long hike in Goathland to the waterfall some years ago. Hutton le Hole is also another absolutely delightful village.

You are bringing back memories, Maz and LG

Hutton le Hole is like stepping back in time, beautiful place as is Reeth where they do the best ice cream in Yorkshire :-D :-D :-D :-D

I haven't been to Reeth, LG. It sounds as though I missed something there, especially the ice cream :-D :-D

It's a lovely village YG get a good meal at the local inn too. The Black Bull I think it is called. That was the place that the real vet Alf White AKA James Herriott spent his honeymoon. See I am a mine of useless information :-D :-D :-D.

Heartbeat had a good cast and good story lines. Can't understand why they axed a winner. Still plenty of repeats.
Maz you know Tynemouth. The Rex Hotel is up for sale..

Used to like PC Alf Ventice in Heartbeat.... ex commando don't you know ;-)

I didn't like Heartbeat very much, I loved All Creatures Great and Small though.

Robert Hardy took a good in that. The various farmers were all good in character

I loved all the books too and we have been to the real surgery in Thirsk which is now a museum. I love the character Tristram Farnham who apparently was a bit of a devil in real life too.

Oooh, LG, I absolutely loved All Creatures Great and Small. My Mum did too. If I could get a box set of it with Robert Hardy, Christopher Timothy and Peter Davison, I would be tempted to treat myself :-D :-D

Have you looked on Amazon YG. I am sure I have seen it on there.

I have just had a quick peek in YG and they definitely have the whole series box sets on there and at a reasonable price

Oh goody goody!! I'm on to it!! Why can't I think of these thing when the unmentionable season and birthday lists are asked for :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
