A Pitstop at The Cockpit

A Pitstop at The Cockpit

At first glance, The Cockpit on Newborough could look like any other fast food outlet, but step inside and you'll find another story. Firstly, there's the wonderfully warm welcome. Ok, you can get this at most places on the Yorkshire Coast, but I sense these guys sincerely appreciate your business and want you to make the best meal choices. They are ready with loads of recommendations and suggestions on the best accompaniments. The decor is - well, let's just say there's a definite chicken theme going on here. All the artwork has been created by local artist Andrea Miller -…

It's Friday... which means another Top 5 from the Team at LYC!

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,…

Put your best foot forward.

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…

Shopping for my man! πŸ€”

Shopping for my man! πŸ€”

Getting it right! When I get the chance to shop for clothes for my man, well, all I can say is YES! It's not that often that I get to shop for him, in fact, it's hardly ever. Usually, my guy knows what he wants, gets ready, sets off to the shop of choice, and well, that's it, he gets what he went for! Then, he's back home, feet up on the sofa, telly on raising his cup of coffee in his hand at me before I've had the chance to say, "what do you want for tea"! Today, however,…

Especially when it comes to Christmas when it's as good a reason as any to treat myself, and as we say, I've been very good this year, thank you, Santa!

Dixons – Filey

Has got the Bloomin lot! One of my wonderful friends had recently bought a house and was telling our group of friends, "if you are thinking of buying a present for me, can you get me a voucher from Dixons? I have seen the perfect oven in there; it's a SMEG oven", This was then followed by exciting tales of being able to whip up the perfect Christmas dinner and the obligatory pigs in blankets. Needless to say, her enthusiasm and multiple "it's amazing" made me chuckle because I'm not sure what my response would be if someone got me…
