In East Yorkshire, everyone refers to the seaside town of Bridlington as "Brid". The village of my birth was halfway between the city of Hull and Brid so I have had a fairly intimate relationship with the place all my life.
Anyway, tonight we are staying in a little rental cottage just outside Brid and this my friends is a scheduled post that I prepared on Tuesday evening. Brid is about two hours from Sheffield. We are staying in two-bedroomed Kibbletree Cottage with Phoebe. With my Booking.com "Genius" account I secured a healthy discount.
During school holidays (American: vacations) many grandparents find themselves undertaking a lot of child-minding duties and this week we were earmarked to look after Phoebe for three days in a row so that's why we came up with the idea of a night away at the coast.
Mind you, rain is in the late summer forecast so no doubt our coastal activities will be affected. Being in rain will be a real novelty for us after two months of drought.
All being well I will be back to normal blogging duties on Thursday night.
