Oh, lovely York! One of my favourite places in the UK. So much history! Have you been to the Viking Museum, Glenda?
Not yet, but I intend to on Monday!
Funny how you tourists see more than we natives. Don't think I have ever been to York. I love these old cathedrals. Glad you are having such fun. Although I think it's your fault Karen broke her suitcase, or Noramly's.
