Kirkgate in York Castle Museum

Dr John Kirk the founder of the museum, had the idea that he wanted to create a street showing everyday life of the people of York. He rescued Victorian shop fronts from all over the country, and recreated them in the museum in 1938.

Motorhome

The site is just north of Whitby on the A174 road to Sandsend, with good views of the North Sea. The owners are very friendly and helpful but facilities are only adequate and could do with updating.

There is a bus stop at the site entrance, the X56 every hour is about £1.40 each way, we usually walked in, its about a mile.

Stella Artois

One of my all time most viewed photos and my most viewed beer photo. Stella Artois gets a lot of bad comments but for what the English call a lager, its not one of the of the worst, in fact it is one of the better ones, that is speaking as a beer drinker anyway.

Castel Camping Le Brevedent

Le Brevedent, Calvados, Lower Normandy, France 2008

Very rural location, and not really the four star campsite as advertised in the brochure, some of the facilities could do with updating. I have never been on a campsite outside the UK with so many British campers, it was like being at home and it was cold and raining but it looks good.
