Staithes

The Missus and me are currently enjoying the late May Day afternoon in the small cove village of Staithes on the East Yorkshire coast, a marine gem just up from Whitby on the Teeside borderland. 

We're sat outside the local watering hole, the Cid and Lobster, brushing off Greenfly. There are millions of them swarming round!

Staithes is famous for many things: fine crab sandwiches, tasty kippers, cobble boats, cobble cake and the place where one Captain James Cook cut his teeth on the fishing boats. 

More recently in the mid Noughties national treasure Bernard Cribbins starred in the CBBC show Jacks Old Boat filmed here in Staithes. 

Is it a show you know?
