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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I love York! You're very lucky to live so close to the city centre. I'm just over an hour away by train and should visit more often!

    (ps. Hello! I've just stumbled across your blog :) )
