Bit of catching up to do, I think…
Friday
Went to Ikea again to pick up more stuff for university, such as crockery, cutlery and storage. Last time we went I didn’t know which university I was going to, and if I ended up at UMIST, I wouldn’t have needed quite so much stuff to take with me. On the other hand, most of the stuff I’m getting would have been needed in the second year at UMIST anyway (I’ll probably move into rented accommodation since I’m taking a sandwich year), and Bradford’s accommodation is £500 cheaper for the year :).
My auntie and uncle (from my mum’s side this time) arrived that evening to stay over for the weekend.
Saturday
The 5 of us went to Whitby for the day. Although I’ve been quite a few times recently, this was the first time I’d visited Whitby Abbey, which has recently seen the opening of a new visitor centre. It’s quite good actually – instead of reading panel after panel of information, they have touch-screen computers which play videos of actors representing people who were involved in the abbey’s history.
We then went back down into the town for a pub lunch, and then had a wander around the town taking photos.
Sunday
It was a nice day so we went to Brimham Rocks and then had lunch at The Half Moon Inn in Fell Beck near Pateley Bridge, before coming home to a barbecue.
Monday
Didn’t really do much…
