As an Easter weekend the weather was a wash out! The worst Easter weather that I can remember.

You will see in my next post that it snowed!!!

I plan to go back later this year if I have the chance. A solo visit by train to visit a couple of things that I didn’t manage in this trip.

I find a lot of cities quite expensive and on the whole I prefer quieter destinations for a holiday visit.

The structures and craftsmanship are amazing.

But modern day engineering skills have been used with this cathedral and others to shore up foundations that weren’t adequate for the large structure, therefore saving the cathedral from collapse.

These really old buildings fascinate me too.

LOL Of course you did go to Betty’s!
Otherwise, your York trip wouldn’t be complete. ;p

Awful weather though. It was rather cloudy when I was there last month.

Love York and it sounds as though you had a wonderful time. Haven’t made it to the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall yet – almost did on the last visit, but there’s just so much to do. It’s a relatively expensive city, though.

The ceilings are really inspiring. It doesn’t matter how much I see I am still often amazed at the feats of architecture accomplished so many years ago – especially when you see so many poor constructions today and we have all of the “advanced” technology.

The Merchant Adventurers Hall is wonderful, even though some of the merchants may not have always behaved well themselves. Being a citizen of the New World, I am always blown away by preserved architecture 660 years old, and love the silver and paintings collections as well.
