Top 5 Heavenly Cake Shops

It's Friday... which means another Top 5 from the Team at LYC! As we begin to welcome some mild Spring weather, the sight of snowdrops and lighter nights usually has me reaching for the recipe books to bake up something to celebrate the turning of the seasons. This year has been a busy one already so instead, it feels only fitting to indulge in some of the fantastic cake shops we have across the Coast. Here's my Top 5 tea rooms from across the Yorkshire Coast if you feel like indulging yourself, too. The Yew Tree, Scalby The cake table,…

The Yorkshire Pudding!

I could wax lyrical about Yorkshire and the great food the Yorkshire Coast has to offer, what we are famous for, and just generally how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place that has an abundance of amazing produce. But for me personally the pinnacle has to be the Yorkshire pudding. Put the words Yorkshire and Pudding together, and an image of a crisp, golden beauty dipped with gravy comes to mind and I can not think of anything more delicious to make this March. There are many dishes that you can make using Yorkshire Puddings as…

Bake a Royal Cake

The majestic Victoria Sponge. A cake popularised in Queen Victoria's reign and is still a classic today. Why not whip up this much-loved classic at home to kick off the Jubilee celebrations and put a smile on your face this March. Believed to be one of the favourites enjoyed by the Queen as part of her Afternoon Tea, this royal cake always delivers on flavour and simplicity. Although there are subtle variations between the fiercely guarded Women's Institute version or the recipe used by Her Majesty's Royal Chefs, for instance, the WI fill simply with raspberry jam, whilst the Queen prefers…

Get Motivated to Get Out There

I don’t think there can be many of us that don’t desire to be more active and enjoy the great outdoors more – is there? It's often said that we are so fortunate living on our amazing Yorkshire Coast but how many of us take it for granted? Sometimes the beauty on our doorstep can be overlooked - when was the last time you actually got out there and explored somewhere new right here on your doorstep? If you’re nodding in agreement at this point – then maybe what you need is a little extra motivation to help you get…

Embracing the breeze with a brew!

When you live on the Yorkshire Coast, you quickly develop a bit of "hardiness", pre-braced to not just handle, but love, the ever-changing weather. Even on the most bitter of winter days, you'll see people walking dogs, going for a run and surprisingly, sitting outside for a coffee! I love nothing more than being dragged across the beach by the dogs, but it's for a very selfish reason... there are many good hot chocolate spots to reward me with after the dog are tired out! https://player.vimeo.com/video/679210085?h=63c12d8fec&badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479 Now, it's not for everyone, and you do need to develop some pretty good…

Great places to shop, Spotlight on Local BusinessesCharlie, shopping

Put your best foot forward.

Which to choose! I often wonder if guys have the same or a more challenging time getting footwear. I mean, we all know if a shop is there with footwear offerings, customers will come. Whether it's boots, shoes, trainers or sandals,, let's face it,, we like to try them on and check out what they look like in the little mirror strategically placed on the floor. Footwear shopping is something else for me. The first shop I go into, I usually see what I want, but just in case, I end up walking from one end of the town to…

Sewing the seeds of an epic adventure

It feels like a long time now since I was out on the bitingly cold day in Scarborough, listening to The Odyssey on a walk throughout the seafront, but it is a memory that has stuck with me. Something about listening to this epic tale told by people from the area resonated with me, and I've been following the story, eagerly awaiting the next instalment. Thankfully, I didn't need to wait too long, so when I saw the next part, "The Trojan Wars", advertised, I put it straight in the diary. It was well worth the trip out to the…
