A Tale of Two Cities
Today we had lunch in York, and afternoon drinks in Leeds!
Alan and I have fond memories of York, so wanted to go back as it's been a long time. We went to the Minster (the Cathedral) and there was a wedding party having their photos taken at the front of it - you can't be shy to have your wedding there with lots of tourists taking your photo too! They had two handsome black horses and a lovely carriage - see my extra.
We had lunch in the sun before strolling down The Shambles and then went back to the car and drove to Leeds. That was a first for us, and I wanted to go as there's a shop that Karen goes to, that sells very good 'fake' designer jewellery. I was hoping for a bit of Chanel, but ended up with Van Cleef earrings and necklace.
Then we went to the Victorian Quarter which is made up of a few arcades which were built in 1900. The glass domed ceilings and mosaics are beautiful. Here you can see Karen & Andy leading the way.
When we got back home, Karen & Andy went to pick up their boys Reuben & Simeon who have been at Karen's mum's and then we spent the evening in the garden. When it started to get dark, we retired to their Cabana in a far corner of the garden where they have a fire pit and sofas surrounded by Bamboo trees - it felt like we were in the jungle. I've put some photos of the Cabana and the boys in my extras too.
It's been a lovely weekend with them but we're leaving in the morning to collect Rachel and the girls as they're coming back to Brighton for the week :-). We mustn't forget to pick up Dexter too!
