Trip to Bridlington with gran, July 2024

Hi everyone! My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is a travel blog of a day trip to Bridlington yesterday with my gran Ruth, hope you like πŸ₯°

We set off early in the morning (I woke up at 7am, a rarity for me, I’m not really a morning person 🀣) Travelled via a local coach company πŸ‘ It took us roughly an hour and 30 mins travelling from Doncaster πŸ₯°

Our first port of call was browsing around the shops. I bought a new diamond art 🎨 and sketching pencils from The Works. I also bought my mum a seagull teddy πŸ˜„

We were both peckish by lunchtime so we walked to ‘Pier 6’, close to where the bus dropped us off, for some nice grub πŸ˜‹ Gran had haddock and chips, and I had a veggie cheeseburger with salad and coleslaw πŸ˜‹

We then had a leisurely walk around the harbour, admiring the lovely boats. A doughnut for gran and a waffle πŸ§‡ with chocolate sauce and bananas 🍌 for me. Yum, yum πŸ˜‹

We briefly passed through the fair ground rides (no, we didn’t go on any, haha πŸ˜†) and took some photos of the beach, before ascending up a slope to the arcades

Gran was a pro on the race horse πŸ‡ and ball game, winning some candy floss and a barbie doll. It was highly amusing also my gran’s tactics with the 2p machines, bashing them in all at once! I took a video, it was really funny 🀣

We made our way slowly back to the coach. We sat down on quite a few occasions on benches as we travelled around Brid. Gran isn’t fantastic on her feet bless her, in need of a knee replacement πŸ’• We had soft drinks in one cafe, and a latte/ vanilla milkshake with squirty cream in another πŸ˜‹ I don’t even want to think about the calorie intake! 🀣

Overall, it was a lovely day 😊 Although the sun never came out, it was cloudy ⛅️ with only a slight drizzle. We were quite lucky

It was really nice to spend quality time with gran, she’s a wonderful woman and Grandma, 87 bless her πŸ’•

I believe there is another coach trip next month to Skegness (we love it there!) and Bury Market later on in the year…

Thank you as ever for taking the time to read/view. All the best, Lauren xx
