A Weekend of Food

Whitby's and Zizzi's

Everything is turning in to the saying "Just like buses" On my other website Where's That Musical On I mentioned about not going to see a show for ages and then within the space of a week I had seen 2 well the same happened with restaurants.

Visit to Scarborough - Dec 2016

A day trip to Scarborough started with parking on the top of South Cliff and walking down through the gardens to The Spa.

Lunch then followed in Farrer's with the regulation Fish Finger Sandwiches

and then a walk up the hill to the Palm Court Hotel for a cream tea dessert.

To walk off all that food first we had a walk round the South Bay

I hope you enjoyed look at the photos of my trip round Scarborough.

Next week I'll share my photos of the Rugby at Wembley

Barbarians V South Africa - Wembley Stadium

My friend had been drooling over watching something sporty after a trip to Wimbledon earlier last year and nagged if we could watch Barbarians V South Africa at Wembley Stadium as he had never been to first class Rugby match or Wembley Stadium.

I have been luck to see my Football team Doncaster Rovers there (and win) but agreed to go as it is a great stadium to visit if you get the chance.

The view gets you every time you come out of the tube station and start walking down Wembley Way

Dotted around the outside of the stadium there are some statues of famous players and team.

The first one we encountered was that of the England World Cup winning captain Bobby Moore.

The second one we found was erected to celebrate 120 years of Rugby League with the statue of five legends of the game, Billy Boston MBE, Alex Murphy OBE and Martin Offiah MBE as well as the late greats Gus Risman and Eric Ashton MBE.

Once inside the concourse you could walk all way round the stadium stopping off for a bite to eat, a sneaky pint or just admire the pictures and banners of great moments in Wembley's history.

Here is a great reason for not having goal line technology lol!

Wembley Stadium concourse

Well my friend did a great job with the tickets, I can't complain about this view, nearly as good as on TV!

Wembley Stadium from row 4

My friend likes to be early so the above picture was about 2 hours before kick off. Luckily a few more arrived by kick off (about 56,000)

Wembley Stadium filling up

We were treated to a brilliant game of attacking rugby from both sides that was great for the fans but probably a nightmare for the coaches.

Game on - Barbarians V South Africa

Our great seats gave us amazing views of the play and the tries.

Touch Down!

The Referee blew up for full time with score all square at 31-31.
A nice day which left us with a return trip down Wembley Way and a night time view of the Wembley Arch.
(Amazing but I still prefer the Twin Towers!)

Well that's it for todays post. Have you been to Wembley? do you have happy or sad memories? please drop me a comment below

Xmas 2016

Here are a few pictures I have taken at home and out and about leading up to Christmas 2016

As usual too early the town put up their lights before the smoke of Bonfire Night has subsided but to be honest they are not too bad this year in Doncaster

Doncaster Baxtergate

To start the countdown to Christmas my Wife was fed up with the 30 odd years old Advent Calendar I had been using so she bought me this cute teddy tennis player with all important chocolates inside.

Wandering round the shops I saw the perfect addition to our Christmas Decorations - a light up picture of The Snowman.

The Snowman 'Walking in the air!'

Another addition to the collection were a couple of baubles, One I bought from the Vatican whilst touring Rome whilst the second came from that other famous place - The Pound Shop!

Star Wars Bauble

One bauble I could not take home with me was in Kings Cross Station we saw while we were waiting to come home following a trip to see a show.
