... 15 years. Lucky there was a route back though the viking village!! So glad!

The major highligh for both Noma and Chezza was the perfectly preserved Viking poo! Rather large viking poo too! Sometimes it's like being with 2 little kids!

We then headed off to the York Minster. A truely wonderful gothic cathedral. It's actually Nothern Europes largest gothic cathedral ...

... up all the loose ends proved to be difficult. However, we managed to rent out our house in Beverley. Lucy had received her passport so on October the 1st we at last managed to set sail. The following is we hope, a fun and interesting way of keeping our friends and families informed of our whereabouts and also anyone else who wants to take a look.
So, thanks for taking the time to look.

See you soon

... of life. Unfortunately in the 400s the empire was falling apart due to the stresses of fighting Huns, Visigoths, Vandals, etc and the emperor sent a letter in 410 recalling the troops from England, and told the local people they would have to fend for themselves. Over the next few generations the Roman way of life eventually faded out. The whole area is very proud of itīs Roman heritage and archaeologists are still uncovering further Roman ruins. Following Hadrianīs Wall I ...

... Anything you ever wanted to know about this area is in there. I also wandered around the middle of the old part of town, which is great cause it's just a mass of people and shops and no traffic. It's really great to be able to just wander around and not worry about getting run over. I also took a brief tour of the art gallery (not too interesting) and had lunch in the Museum Gardens, a huge public park. That evening I met Abbey and Grant ...

... women were dressed to the 9s. They had fancy hats and dresses that looked like something from an age long forgotten. There were feathers and chiffon everywhere! I was highly entertained. I had no doubt in my mind that I would meet up with my Scottish friends again, and kept the thought of meeting them in the forefront of my mind all morning (well, early afternoon by this time.) Sure enough, as I stood there watching the parade of fancy people, along came my newest ...

... skipping from our CDs to a radio station for a few minutes every half hour of its own accord, presumably in an attempt to pick up the news or traffic updates but only ever succeeding in giving us a twice hourly dose of the 20th anniversary re-release of a new Band Aid generation singing Feed the World, became a huge source of discontent.

Things didn’t improve in Leeds either, where Ali wanted to quickly grab a gift at ...

... the rooms. Still, the house is a hidden gem of York. It should be seen.

After our tour of Fairfax House, we stopped at Clifford's Tower. The tower is the last remnant of what was York's castle. The tower was the site of a really nasty bout of anti-Semitism in the 1100's. 150 Jews trapped in the tower by the town fathers chose to commit suicide rather than be executed for being Jewish. Now, the tower is used to remove money from the wallets of tourists. There's ...

... to make one realize that (to paraphrase an old cliche) you're not in California anymore. Take, for example, a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. The box says Kellogg's Corn Flakes, and it has the same familiar color scheme. But, the lettering is a different font and size. And all the measurements on the box are metric. The differences also extend to the cash register. The British cash registers have a lot more change compartments than the American ones have, mainly because ...
