Filey, Saltburn, Barnard Castle and Clydebank

We arrived home from our week's break on Friday evening. Having left Filey at 9am, we drove only as far as Saltburn, via Scarborough and Whitby. The weather was fine and the traffic light.
At Saltburn we stopped for coffee, then while my wife shopped. I took some photographs.

Next we continued our journey home via Barnard Castle. First stop was the Catholic Church there, St.Mary's. The history of the Church features in an earlier blog.
To our delight, Fr Elkin was working in the garden, so we had a brief chat. After a visit to the Church itself, we had a coffee, then made for home. I took the road over the moors towards Brough, where we joined the A66, and from there the M6 back to Scotland, and home to Clydebank by about 7.30pm.

We really enjoyed the short break, and probably would have enjoyed an even longer stay, but we had only booked for 4 nights, and anyway, school called. Tomorrow I will be back in class, Primary 2, for all of next week.

Over the next few days, I'll write about some of the places we visited and post some of the many photographs I took.
