The notice on the A59 which declared "Welcome to Yorkshire, Like Lancashire but better" had mysteriously disappeared on the Sunday and been replaced with "Welcome to Lancashire, Like Yorkshire but MUCH better".
The Friday evening got the group off to a cracking start with an excellent meal, good wine and super company. Maybe you can spot some one you know in the snaps taken of the collected throng and judge for yourself (those who did not attend), from the many happy faces, what you missed!!!!
Four keen cyclists took a trip around the area and crossing the Fisherman's Bridge over the River Ouse
Wound their way to Bolton Percy and the Church of All Saints (formerly All Hallows pre Reformation!)
and, of course the obligatory Crown Pub for light refreshment, before setting off homeward and having a "spiritual" experience!!!
Others, meantime, wandered the Shambles,
enjoyed the street entertainment,
and paid homage to one of England's most gallant martyrs.
One of the highlights of York at this time was a stunning exhibition of van Gogh's work with many quotes from the master himself and a fantastic virtual journey through his works.
One quote that caught the bloggers eye although not attributable to van Gogh struck a chord re the recent questionnaire he had returned to HQ.
His wife, however, preferred one seen in a cocktail bar, passed on the way back to the bus
and is one I'd second when this miserable virus is beaten and we can all meet again.
A super weekend away, with little thought of the seriousness of the weeks and months to come, and so a huge THANK YOU to the organisers
Thank you Sandra and Terence for a most enjoyable weekend from all at Longridge.
