Woke to the best breakfast yet. Most of you will know that Allan is a cereal and yoghurt man, but today he had a big bowl of porridge, a huge plate of sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms, plus toast! He is starting to enjoy cooked breakfasts.
It was wet and misty unfortunately, but we headed off to the Castle, only to find that it is not open at the moment, so our reason for coming this way was a non event really, but we did have a lovely time at the farm, and we got some valuable tips on where to go in Scotland.
We hit he motorway for York - what a pretty town. We visited the National Rail Museum - Phil, you would have loved it.
Allan walked the Wall that surrounds the town, although managed to miss a couple of access points so ended up walking one and a half times round the city walls.
Our B&B here is a Victorian house with 5 rooms, owned by a South African couple, so of course we had to talk rugby. They sent us to a tea house called Betty’s for dinner. What an experience. It was a Swiss / high tea type venue with light meals. There was live piano music, so we enjoyed the music and the ambience, and of course the food. Should have had a Yorkshire Pudding really!
Heading for Scotland tomorrow.
