Thanks Peter,

Indeed - Whitby and the surrounding area have been a part of our family 
life for well over 50 years.

As to my favourites, it's all a mater of finding time. Freelancers 
seldom have any to spare.

I've been planning to do a definitive "Whitby Gallery" and a definitive 
"Railways Gallery" for ages, but I never get around to it.

Cheers
Douglas
