A Great Weekend!

It didn't take up long to get to York. The B&B was easy to find as well. However we had a bit of a shock when we walked in the room! I have never seen decor quite like it. I thought my taste was a bit eclectic, but this was amazing! Some walls Lilac, others Lavender. Blue blinds on the window and deep purple curtains. There was a bright purple canopy over the bed, burgundy velvet covers with hot pink cushions and even bright pink sheets. The Landlady called it the "Indian Room" and it was decorated with Indian style pictures and sequined elephants!!!

The bathroom was even bright! It had a "Primrose" bathroom suite. However, it was clean and smelled nice. The Landlady and the brekkie was lovely and, if you can cope with the decor, I would recommend it.

We had a rest for an hour or so as we were really tired after getting up at 5am that morning. Then we contacted our friends. After a snack, we went for a stroll around York. That city is amazing! It is a glorious combination of new and old, with the Minster appearing from above the other buildings keeping an eye on things.

And the Minster itself is stunning. I was lucky enough to get this picture as the sun was going down and the building reflected the colour. We went for a meal in a place called "Kennedys". You can always tell how posh a place is by the size of the meal. Just as well we had had a snack before we went out! They had a meal deal on which included a bottle of wine with two meals. So, as Mark and Steve were drinking beer, I had a bottle of red amd Sue had a bottle of white.

Just as well the camera was on auto focus because I would have never been able to take this one otherwise! We went on a bit of a pub crawl after that. I was good and stuck to soft drinks after all that wine.

In one of the pubs we saw this charater who kindly posed for us. He is one of the "Ghost Walkers". They take people on walks around York telling them all the ghost stories. The next day we spent the morning with Sue and Steve before leaving for home about 1pm.
