My mum and I spent a week travelling by train and bus across Yorkshire, to Nottingham, and finally to London. In Scarborough, we stayed at an amazing top floor flat very close to North Bay Beach that felt like a bird's nest. One highlight of the trip for me was meeting my friend Amber in Nottingham. We enjoyed the shops and found more second hand than we thought! There's also an IKEA just outside of Nottingham which was great fun, and I couldn't leave without visiting the newly renovated central library. A highlight for Mum was visiting Longplayer in London. It's an art installation that's set to play continuously without repeating for 1,000 years.
