York In The Rain

York on Monday was wonderful, if not a little wet.  It rained almost all day, this however did not dampen our spirits.  We took shelter in Betty's cafe for tea and toasted tea-cake, eaten next to the warm cosy fire.


Walked past the beautiful York Minster, this picture was taken from Dean's Park.


We then had a browse round the shops and walked down the most famous street in York - The Shambles:


 A trip to York wouldn't be the same without a look round everyones favourite.  Although Neil couldn't see what all the fuss was about - I told him 'its a woman thing'


Until next time - goodbye wonderful York - hey what am I talking about, I only live 30 mintues from the centre, have to admit, I don't visit as often as I should.

  2. York is beautiful, some of my relatives live there. I went Christmas shopping there the one year, it was amazing. Is a shame I cant visit more often.

  3. The rain did put lots of people off, hardly anyone was walking about. Still we had a great day, even had a cheeky glass of wine with our lovely lunch at a small restaurant in one of the back streets, which Neil had been to before.

  4. York is very like Canterbury, I remember going there as a kid with my parents and they took us on a ghost tour which terrified me. Even when it's raining it's still pretty. x
