We discovered Filey, a gem of a town on the Yorkshire coast, about 15 years ago and have returned several times since then. Living just about as far from the coast as possible in the UK we need an occasional fix of ‘vitamin sea’ and a week in or around Filey dispenses the required dose. We particularly enjoy walking on the long beach with its clean, firm sand. It has become our ‘standard’ for beaches and wherever we go around the world, the beach is judged on our ‘Filey scale’. It was after one such walk that we sat enjoying a coffee when this elderly couple arrived and stood there, presumably reminiscing, for quite a while. This could well be the resulting postcard to a son or daughter…

Aah! John, your post card awakens memories for me of the South African beaches we spent our holidays at.

It is a very fine beach, just don’t go to nearby Bridlington!

Thanks Stuart, I did wonder if you had seen it earlier and that the post had inspired you to visit Filey! It really is one of our favourite places to visit. I must do some more Filey postcards sometime.

No just a coincidence and a happy accident. We hadn’t even planned to go there as we were heading up towards Whitby – it’s only because we were later leaving York that we thought we would be and Filey stood out on the Map. I’m nit surprised it’s a favourite – we’ll definitely be back too.
