After a quick lunch in Cafe Rouge, we made our way towards Clifford’s Tower and the York Castle Museum, stopping off at a couple of galleries on the way. One of our favourite artists, Mark Braithwaite, has his gallery just down the road from the cathedral, so naturally we spent a little while rifling through his prints. Helen bought a couple of small prints here and we moved on.
Today we took a road trip up to the beautiful city of York. We set off early to arrive just as the attractions were opening, but even though I was outside York Minster as it opened at 10am, I had to stand in-line for nearly 30 minutes to gain entry. This is by far the busiest cathedral I’ve ever visited, with what must’ve been at least two coach-loads of tourists queueing to get in.

Tuesday morning was Helen’s birthday, so we woke up nice and early to unwrap presents. Unfortunately, while pictures were taken, neither of us had put on our make-up, so they’re not suitable for publication. One picture however definitely needs to be shared, which is the birth of Juice Junior:

After breakfast and packing on Sunday morning, we left for York, arriving at our beautiful hotel around midday. A little too early to check in to our room, we left our luggage with the front desk and went off to explore.
