It keeps raining, which we're not happy about. It's not relentless rain, and the sun always reappears after a while with some stunning rainbows. Yes we know, it's good for the garden, but it's not so good for us if we have to dry wet coats off in Margery. Moaning finished. Back to today. A short drive to York.
Angela wanted to return having visited as a child. She remembers York Minster and how imposing it was, and wanted to revisit that childhood memory. As expected the city was busy, especially with Chinese visitors, all wanting a photograph in front of the magnificent cathedral to share with friends and family online. Not sure if so much posing was really necessary.
The exterior of the cathedral is undergoing some renovation, so it was not possible to take a really good photograph. Inside though, so much to photograph, including the spectacular organ, which during our visit suddenly fired up filling the Cathedral with a beautiful sound. We felt honoured to have been there at that moment as the sound from the 100 pipes reverberated around us.
All that aside, the day was made even more special when John asked if the cabinet the book of remembrance for those members of the RAF whom fell in the second world war, could be unlocked, and the book opened, so he could see if one or both of his uncles were mentioned in it.
One was. It was a very special moment. Tonight we are staying in the grounds of York Auction House, Margery and one other.
A twenty minute bus ride took us into the city. Campsites in the area start at £30.00. The cost to stay here £12.00. Showers are available, but we weren't informed that the auction house wouldn't be open at the weekend, and we'd have no access to them. A little annoying. All that aside, today has been an enjoyable day. That's York ticked off the list.
