Michele's 2008 UK Diary


Greetings all, We are in Whitby in Yorkshire. Where Captain Cook came from, but more importantly for us it is the home of Jet; that wonderful fossilised coal so beloved of Queen Victoria and used since pre- history for making beads. Having trawled the streets for hours looking at contemporary Jet jewellery we are now at the magnificent ruined Abbey on the cliff. A foggy day in Whitby, and the Abbey was looking its spooky best in anticipation of the goth festival the next weekend. This is about the location that Suttcliffe took his wonderful shot of the Abbey many years ago.
