A Day Out In York

I don't live far from the historic town of York and I had a lovely day out there yesterday. The weather was beautiful and I went on an open-top bus and a river cruise. One of the things that came up often about York is that ancient bodies are often found when foundation are dug for new buildings! 

Clifford's Tower - some history of it here

I saw many ducks and geese with their offspring.

The round building is a cafe. I had a lovely coffee and caramel shortbread there.

Inside the cafe.

The lovely River Ouse

The impressive York Minster in the background.

The narrow streets of York

The Shop That Must Not Be Named - full of Harry Potter merchandise
