Mmmm, I love a bit of flat fish I do. My favourite (ahem) place to eat them around these parts is the Magpie at Whitby. Always nice and sweet tasting and you always get both halves

Sad bugger that I am we always get there just before it opens and so miss the queues Bully but it's not very wheelchair friendly inside like the rest of Whitby which is a pity. We still do the abbey steps every visit to see how we're holding up physically, I'm still fine going up them but boy does it pull on the knees coming back down these days. No doubt there will come a time when the likes of Whitby is off our agenda and we're restricted to the more gentle slopes of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.Never actually gone in there always a queue (I know its a good sign) but when you’re only there for a few hrs I don’t want to spend half of it waiting in a queue

We used to love it there take the dogs on the beach between sandsend and Whitby then drive in and have a walk about while the dogs slept their exertions off we always did the abbey it’s what you do when you’re there but as I said to rod cleethorpes is the only place now but it is beautiful there much nicer than brid or skeggy

A family member had a caravan there next to a fishing lake in Mablethorpe so we had a few breaks down there a few years ago while I did some splodging. The caravan site itself was fine but wonder off into the town and it's like a morbidly obese episode of the Walking Dead...The most popular local pastime seemed to be to stare into the window of Dave's Cafe and point out what the diners were eating, but never actually use the cafe themselves.
In fairness though the beach was good, quiet and clean. Maybe because everybody was in town drooling over the diners?
that cafe closed a few years ago,they stare into Gregg's now.joking aside 58 years in Sheffield was enough for me,been here 11 years now would never move back.We came here to die,we died 11 years ago.A family member had a caravan there next to a fishing lake in Mablethorpe so we had a few breaks down there a few years ago while I did some splodging.

We’ve developed a liking for Hornsea. The front and promenade are manageable, the town is okay, but the ‘Freeport’s where the pottery used to be is really only free of anything interesting and life in general.

Yes I heard that Dave's had shut, we always ate there. It was supposedly award winning but wasn't there some sort of H&S problem and the council shut it down?? The caravan site we stopped at is Whispering Waters on Seaholme Rd and joking apart I always enjoyed my visits although as stated we didn't venture into the town much. We used to walk from the site down past the clock to the beach and then up towards Sutton and Skeggy or down the country lanes inland. Some lovely walks. Our neighbour retired to a bungalow in Mabletherpe last year and he's loving it.
I admire people who (if fit enough) fulfil their retirement plans. We certainly haven't because there always seemed to be a reason why the time wasn't right and that's still the case. Our only life decision now looks like being whether or not we need to find somewhere with a smaller garden before mi back gives up!
