Art Pass

We woke up to a substantial covering of snow. - at least 4 inches. The snow soon turned to rain, and now all that's left is a slushy mush. I hope it doesn't freeze tonight!

For Christmas, we treated ourselves to an Art Pass, so we decided to make full use of it today. In the morning, we went to the Art Gallery and the William Morris exhibition. It was fabulous, fascinating, and informative, but unfortunately, no photos were allowed. After some delicious lunch in the City Screen cafe, we went to the Yorkshire museum - the exhibits have changed a lot in the 20 years or so since our last visit!
