YORK. History On Every Corner.

Well where has the time gone? We parted company at Manchester Piccadilly as I was making my way to York. Let’s try and catch up with one another.

Like the song says “The weather outside is frightful” and it is. That said the thought of sitting in the house watching it rain is not one that appeals so I’m off out on the bus with no real agenda to see where the winds of chance blow me too.
