Nourishment in York

We went to York for a few days last Friday. As we've been living on stress, sandwiches and takeaways, we needed sustenance, both physical and emotional. Away to the Hay's we went. Aah the lovely journey away from London and up to York. The prospect of seeing Donna, Ken and Harriet and gaining sustenance was exciting and only two hours away. It is so relaxing being with them, and we did all my favourite things, chatting, laughing, eating, drinking, wandering about in lovely interesting places and playing a game or two. Some nourishment was had on Friday when we went to Nando's which is quite glam in York, but the ultimate provision of a balance of the food groups was on Saturday night when we had roast chicken and everything, including pudding. Amongst all the feasting, we went on a ghost walk, visited the Jorvic museum (again!), went on the York Eye, walked around the roman and medieval walls and generally drank loads of coffee and loafed around. Very relaxing. Can't wait for the next visit.

sockie meltdown

I'm sorry to have to report that sockies do not like washer/dryers. This year and last we have stayed in flats/houses in Whitby that have a washer /dryer. The temperature of the drying heat is too much for the poor sockie. Bits of molten sockie have been discovered embedded into other items of clothing. Lakeland take note.
