On our last full day in York, James and I decided to take a road trip to Scarborough! I've never been before and I wasn't expecting much - a friend described it as a "grim place" - but I had a really great time. It's quite large for a seaside town and whilst the town center is a little crumbly, there's lots to do and see along the shore! We had pizza for lunch and walked all around the town, the pier

The third stop on my tour-of-nice-places-to-go-in-Yorkshire is Filey! (Here is stop one and stop two.) Filey is a typical British seaside town. Although it's smaller than places like Whitby, it still has plenty of arcades, candyfloss stands, fish and chip shops and colourful changing booths. The weather was crazy when we were there, alternating between rain and dark skies and beautiful sunshine like

Having the time to explore Yorkshire recently has been great, there are so many beautiful places to visit! I have been to Robin Hood's Bay before but it is always lovely.

The beach is long and sandy, full of rock pools and surrounded by dramatic cliffs. We even swam in the sea

No, it isn't Disneyland. It is a sunny old-fashioned lido nestled amongst the rolling hills of West Yorkshire. When I was little, my brother and I would take every opportunity to get the paddling pool out and spend hours splashing around. As an adult, not much has changed - I still love outdoor swimming! I really love wild swimming, but this lido is just as good. The water is so clear and beautiful!

I really love patterned tights. The only problem is that I ladder my tights so quickly, and it's so sad to ruin a pair of tights with a pretty pattern on them! This pair has held up so far, and i built the rest of my outfit around them. The other thing I love is wearing shirts over dresses. I really like the mix of textures, and I get some extra protection form the harsh Yorkshire winds :) This dress
