All I knew was that the venerable Bede was involved with Whitby Abbey and I do believe he was buried there. It is true that Queen Victoria was 'into' Jet--she wore Jet jewelry for 40 years to commemorate the death of her husband Prince Albert and she mourned him for 40 years.

Apparently that's a popular goth destination. She was startled when someone in Whitby recognized her husband from a picture taken 10 years earlier. Apparently the photo had made it out into the goth Internet. Some Brit pointed at her husband and said "Oi! It's the bloke what was handcuffed to a banana!" Great to be famous in your own mecca.

You really have an artist's eye. Also, I really loved receiving your postcards and my birthday card in the mail. There is something so special about getting a hand-written post, rather than an e-mail or phone call. Maybe it's the old romantic in me, but I get so excited whenever I open up the mailbox and find a card or note from someone special - instead of just dreary old bills or junk mail. Thank you for remembering me on your trip! Love you, Jen Your photographs are so lovely. You really have an artist’s eye.
