If you look after the GAP the GAP will look after you 👀 . Can’t believe I’ve never been to Hunmaby before, even though my Jack discovered a while back that a lot of our ancestors were horse traders there. Thought it was time to pop in yesterday. 10/10. Will be going back.

Can we have a moment of appreciation for Dean & @holdernessnews - what would the world be like with more local papers and media sharing things like this? More moments like this. More creativity. More “it’s normal for me” even if you don’t get it & let’s celebrate that a bit more.
My pal said.I wasn’t well. when he rang.and asked where .I was and I told him. I was in Whitby .putting sea glass.in a shell. he said it wasn’t normal .and I said it was .normal for me. and if I wasn’t .doing it here,.I’d be doing it.in Withernsea. @HoldernessNews
