On Friday I visited York Minster although I did not complete the visit and then did a 2 hour walk with a volunteer guide who imparted a fair bit of history about York. This weekend is York’s Food and Drink Festival. Many tents were set up in a pedestrian area near the Shambles market area. I had a spicy Turkish wrap followed by a local ice cream from a nearby shop before returning to rest weary bones.
Catholic Church smelt very musty and a service was about to start so I moved on
