Earlier in the day I had noticed a perfect shop for morning coffee, but I was overruled and told that it wasn’t the right time for morning coffee.  I did however manage to work my way back there for afternoon tea

The shop is associated with a hand made chocolatier of  over 30 years. The drinks are served with home made chocolates and the hot chocolate drink is served with real chocolate too.

I have to confess to succumbing to a cup cake, although it did have meringue on the top rather than butter sugar cream

PS: The days walking tallied up to 9 miles and I ended up with sore feet, I think the treat was well earned Later in the day everyone else was in bed by 10pm!!

Whilst in the tea shop the mizzle had now turned to torrential rain, so a quick change of plan was in order and I headed back to York in order to visit the Castle Museum.  I can’t say the journey back was very pleasant because it was too rainy to see the scenery.  I dropped the car back off at the hotel and rather than walk all the way into town decided to have lunch in the Castle Museum.  Unfortunately the cafe was closed due to the refurbishment that is taking place in the museum.  Next stop was the National Trust cafe whose kitchens were closed due to an art exhibition that was taking place there.  Do you detect a theme here?  Eventually a suitable place for lunch was found, although I declined on the food front (I was still full of cake) and just had a cup of tea.

By this time it had mostly stopped raining and because the castle museum was on the opposite side of town by now we were onto plan C of things to do.  This turned out to be walking around two segments of the town walls and visiting Clifford’s Tower.  Those of you who know York well will know that by this time I was back by the Castle Museum, but a visit there was saved for another day…  It was the day of the carnival and it was nice just to soak up the atmosphere in town before going back to the hotel for dinner.

Last weekend I went to a wedding, it was a very informal affair and the wedding breakfast was in a Greek restaurant where we were served with a Meze.  Here are the wedding cakes, the bottom picture shows how popular they were
