About Us We moved to The Waverley in April 2006 after Julie took voluntary redundancy from The British Library and I (Stephen) left Toyota Industrial Equipment after being Systems and Projects Manager for 16 years. Whitby was always one of our favourite places to visit, being just over an hour away from where we lived in Tadcaster, but we only ever came for day trips. The idea was that the move would be a first step to early retirement – sometimes we wonder!

Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign We have been involved with Lynn Faulds Wood and her charity ever since I (Stephen) had bowel cancer in 1996. After we initially contacted Lynn, we decided that we wanted to become involved to help raise awareness and have since organised entries into various runs in The Great Run series as well as 2 Big Bike Rides (see our photo album).
