Final Resting Place

That's me in the green jacket trudging up the 199 steps.
Each time we make the trip to England (from the States) we must go to Whitby. It's our favourite town in all the world now. Making the trip up the 199 steps is required, as well, and it gets a little harder and harder to do, as the years go by. But I couldn't see Whitby without walking up those wonderful old steps, and then sitting down at the very top, on the edge of the old churchyard, where, I have instructed my husband to scatter my ashes when I have passed on from this current life. That is where I want to be - forever. At the top of these wonderful steps, overlooking the town of my soul, Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.
