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.

I go through life thinking everyone knows straight away when you’re referencing a Wendy Cope poem, but just in case that’s not true, this is after her Flowers 🌺 https://t.co/QdW7ENolbo

Flowers Some men never think of it. You did. You’d come along And say you’d nearly brought me flowers But something had gone wrong. The shop was closed. Or you had doubts – The sort that minds like...

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
