Even if it was chilly from the north easterly wind coming in off of the sea, it was still lovely to be by the sea once again.
Once arriving in Filey and having a quick look in the wonderful gift shops on the cobble landing, I ventured into town to discover something new.
Besides the numerous amounts of gift shops selling the typical combination of a bucket and spade, I did find a small independent butcher.
Not only were cold meats being sold, but local eggs, preserves and jams, honey, cakes, biscuits and lastly pork pies and scotch eggs.
Having difficulty deciding what I fancied for lunch, I went with a homemade pork pie, scotch egg and a small selection of cakes to share with my friend I was enjoying the day with.
Sitting high up on the beach front, I enjoyed my lunch (the scotch egg was delicious!), had a cup of tea and enjoyed the spectacular views of the bay.
After lunch, we went for a walk along the beach. What is the point going to the seaside if you are not going to walk along the beach?!
Reaching the rock pools at one end of the brig, we spotted lots of fossils in the rock.
Some looked new like this shell...
And others were fascinating, like this cast of crustaceans burrow.
I wonder if there is a fossil crustacean in there...
Working our way to the top of the cliff, we discovered a couple of ditches, where a 'look out' building once stood.
It was quite a large ditch!
After having a much needed cup of tea, enjoying the views of course...
We went back into town for a chip butty, it was a very welcome meal to end our day at the beach!
