The original plan was to go away for Christmas - to stay in a cottage in the middle of nowhere and forget about the whole festive period - but we didn’t get around to that. So, instead, we went away for a week in January instead.
I saw a small ad in the Uni’s staff newsletter advertising a cottage in Staithes - Northside Cottage - and after gazing in wonder at the website for a while, we decided to spend a mid-week break there.
