The First One: A Walk on the Coast

So here it is. My first ever blog post! 

I've been planning to start a blog for blummin' ages, but just never got round to it. So here I am, ready to focus on something other than the works of Descartes, Weber, Marx ... etcetera, etcetera (at least until uni comes back around anyway!) 

My first post obviously had to encompass the beauty of the town that I am so lucky to call my home ... or close enough anyway, Saltburn-by-the-Sea. I have worked in Saltburn most of my teenage years and spent many a weekend paddling in the sea or eating my body weight in chip shop chips and ice-cream (a MUST). Last week my family and I brought my dog for a walk on a particularly sunny night and got to experience the beach at its best, pretty much totally empty. It was definitely one of the nicest ways I could have wished to spend a summer evening before traveling back to York for work, and you can probably see from these pictures why I appreciate my hometown so much. 

My blog will quite possibly follow a bit of a 'what I did on my summer holiday' theme, for a while anyway at least. Mainly because I want to create something that I can look back on and see how, and what, I've spent my time off doing. After that, who knows! So if food, countrysides and pretty towns are your thing then feel free to follow along with my rambly postings. (Being honest I don't know how to follow on blogger so you might have to work that out for yourself!) 
Let me know what you have planned for the summer ... and if you have any ideas of what I can do with the massive amount of free time I have off, that would also be much appreciated!
