Thank You so much for the tour. My mum passed away 2020 and her one wish that we couldn't fulfil, was to go back to Whitby. I've never been there. How you have shown how beautiful it is, I understand now. Thank you ❤

It is such a enchanting place. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. There seems so much there. I live about 1 1/2 hr away, and didn't even know it had a gorgeous beach until we went. Definitely going back this summer
