Gorgeous photos! I feel almost like I have visited in person.
I got sidetracked for a bit checking out the website for the Whitby Jet Shop....since the sign in your photos also showed their URL, so I went there. I had no idea jet jewelry was still being made...I've read about it, of course, in novels and always associated it with Victorian times.
I also enjoyed the close ups of the architectural details, like those overhanging eaves and those old, old timbers on the half-timbered buildings....I'd be in heaven to walk down those streets in person!
Thanks for the tour; I'm looking forward to seeing the inside of York Minster.
Hi Sara,
Thanks for your encouraging comments they really do help much more then you will ever know.
Yes, Whitby jet is still made but you are right it is associated with the Victorians, glad you could read the web address, Whitby however is more famous for the Abbey and Bram Stoker's Count Dracular. There you have given me something else to do when the weather is warmer a nice drive to Whitby, with my camera.
Your tour of the Getty Villa was fantastic I just love seeing parts of America through your eyes, camera and words.
I have also had some very kind comments from your new friend Willow.

Oh yes! That is just exactly how I remember York. We walked past the Merchant Hall one evening. There is a nice yarn/needlework shop in The Shambles.
We attended Evensong in the cathedral. The next day we toured the minster and marveled at the Rose Window.
Brian,
As I was reading the comments about Whitby and jet jewelry, I recalled that we drove over to Whitby and looked at the ruins outside of the town. But we did not stop in Whitby--it looked like a crowded seaside town and parking was a horror. I'll look forward to seeing Whitby through your eyes.
Ah, Minerva...she was a wily one, I think.
These photos make this storybook corner of the world come alive.
Very nicely done.
Regards,
Lavinia
Dear Willow,
Thanks you for your very positive comments , the Shambles does have some lovely quaint shops but not all owners like you to take photo's so one has to be careful.
It is very nice to help bring back such nice memories for you.
Agree Whitby is hard to park a car and can get very busy, but I shall post some photo's later in the year so you can see it as you say "through my eyes"
Kind regards
Brian
You took the trouble to read the message, thank you.

Kind regards
Brian
