After many weeks of almost going to York, we ended up going today. On the way there, at about 8:30am, it was a balmy 27 degrees and we thought we'd have a nice, warmish day out. Well, it hit 42 by about midday and we ended up having lunch in the car with the A/C on full-blast!
Bread rolls, polony and chips....what else does anyone need? Delicious! As per normal Eugene said "it was the best and tastiest meal he's ever had!". We hear that a lot lately. Nothing wrong with his appetite at the moment. Karla is quieter, and going through that not-so-fun teenage stage. Looking forward to getting her back to normal, which we understand could be a little while ;-)
As usual, some snaps below.
|
The view from the lookout on top of Mt Brown. Mount Bakewell is on the right. Both hills are part of a dream-time legend (bit like Romeo and Juliet). |
|
Just love old servo's. Look at the signage and single pump. |
|
Karin and the kids outside the historic town hall. Reminded Karin and I of our old school halls in East London. |
|
A vintage pram,....and looking at the wheels you can see why boys built billy-carts (go carts) out of them. |
|
Eugene and Karin on the historic swing-bridge over the Avon river, which runs through York. |
