Family snaps…
It was lovely to see them. As we have so often done before, the Mulrys, my mother and myself made a little day trip to that lovely North Yorkshire seaside town Whitby… Click through to the individual pictures on flickr if you would like a little more information.
And finally Saltburn with Mr. Potter… Here’s Mike Potter and his girlfriend Lisa who I met for the first time.And a charming lady she is too.
This is the place we had lunch at, Virgo’s in Saltburn. Saltburn is a lovely old Victorian seaside town on the wild north-east coast and Virgo’s is a very nice bistro/cafe with a great menu that includes several vegetarian dishes.
I had pasta with pesto and pine nuts. All the ps.
These two had some other stuff… We were all really satisfied anyway.
It was too cold and windy for walking so we retreated to the Ship – an old smugglers pub for pints and pirate impressions.
It’s always good to see Mr. Potter. Here’s a little Teesside moon from the journey back…

Before I went home for Christmas Mewby and I headed over to the German Christmas Market in Osaka.We had been there last three years ago on Xmas Eve, and enjoyed the stalls and the mulled wine, but it has increased in popularity since then, the crowds have gotten bigger and the mulled wine somehow wasn’t as good… To escape the crowds we wandered through the Umeda Sky Building and its garden instead. This is ourselves reflected in a window looking out on an illuminated waterfall.
Later we had dinner at Santa Lucia near Utsubo Park (thanks to Eric J. for that tip!). It was pretty good… Though a bit odd that we were seated in a greenhouse.
And the food was a little too salty. Back in Kyoto we went to Kisui and Miu needed four glasses of orange juice in quick succession to quench her thirst. Before heading back though we also took in the Yodogawa illuminations:
On the Sunday, (18th December) we visited Arashiyama Hanatouro (lantern light-up). It was crowded and very cold but well worth the visit.
After that we really needed a hot nabe to heat us up! I was positively dreaming of this on the train back.
This one from Soba no Mi Yoshimura was just the job!
To follow ~ Chrimbly pictures from jolly old England!
