Cleethorpes

Hello, I hope you are all well. My wife and I have spent the day in the lincolnshire 'seaside' town of Cleethorpes. I have not been driving for long, I passed my test four years ago and Im still very wary about driving long distances or to places I do not know. Cleethorpes has become one of the places we know very well and are fully aware that there is still a lot more that we need to find out about it and places that we can visit by using it a as base. For a long time now, Cleethorpes has been our go to place to destress. Even before I was driving we visited Cleethorpes on a regular basis due to the train links from Meadowhall train station and we stay in either 'The Priory' or 'M and J's' guest houses which are both owned by the same couple who have always been very warm and welcoming. I mention these without any payment of any kind and at the time of writing, and I do not know how many people are reading these blogs, but the fact remains that thexse are the two guest houses we stay in (other guest houses are available!). Today though I drove. We took one of our nieces and met up with a friend as we were had ararnged to look after their daughter for the day. Needless to stay I have come back home and am very tired and in lots of pain, but the day has been wonderful, we have been on the beach, they have played on the play areas within the arcades and the little funfair that operates on the beach. We have made sandcastles and they have decorated them with shells and seaweed and we have had hotdogs for lunch. Why am I telling you about my day, well, its just to say to say that we have lots of places that we can visit within an hour to 90 minutes drive and even if you only have fuel to get there and back it is worth just getting away, just doing something different that can just get you away from all that stresses you. It does not matter where you live, there are places of natural beauty on our doorsteps. I like Cleeethorpes because it is flat and there are plenty of rest stops that I can take (as I walk with a stick due to my disabilities and need frequent stops), but you can go anywhere, even if it is just to sit in the sunshine or walk through woodland, remember to check whether the public can access it first though. It is just nice to get away evn if just for a few hours.
