Spent the day travelling and by dinner time were unpacked and out the door of our B&B in York.
Wowsa! York is fabulous. We are staying just outside the wall - about 1 km walk through winding, wonderful streets to York Minster - the largest medieval gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. It took around 250 years to build in the 10-11th Centuries. You can see it from all angles but get no idea of the size until you are right there.
End of day so just pictures for now.

| East window: largest expanse of medieval stained glass - as big as a tennis court |
Imagine any modern society sticking to a plan for 250 years! Your postcard came yesterday, did you ride the London Eye?
ReplyDeleteYes. Imagine working on it knowing you'd never see the finish.
