Travel With Me Tuesday: A Day Out in York

I don't often do a double page that is pretty much designed as a double from the start. This one was done that way, more or less, even though when it's printed you won't really know that. It's fun to do once in a while but let me tell you, the number of layers gets to be beyond me!

In any case, here's how the pages look on their own.

Wordless Wednesday: Seen in York, UK

Travel With Me Tuesday: York Minster

For outside of the Minster, we passed this garden. So enticing to me. Imagining what it would be like to live outside this magnificent cathedral.

The vast soaring arches above us at every spot. What would it be like to sit under these any time one wanted?

Oh the windows! Even on this dark dreary day, the light could shine through. These were windows that really ask for time to look often and look intently.

Our guide pointed out many things to Dick because he had never been here. How blessed I am to have had so many many visits. But really they are never enough. I could visit the Minster every day of my life. Maybe in another life time...

Travel With Me Tuesday: Oh York, I Love You So

Our day started with a pickup by our driver and then later a switch to a shuttle bus to take us into York. We passed the train station and started to walk walk walk.

The River Ouse flowed quietly along the trees and endless green.

I have a strange look on my face but at least there's a photo of me with the Minster showing its towers . I love this view.

This entrance into the city of York is full of views that go back hundreds of years. The wall, the towers, the gate keepers home...all images that hint of the Norse city, the Roman city and on and on.

Dick and our guide look at building after building while the Minster waits for our arrival.

So many buildings that I have seen many times in years past but on this day we had no time. York is worthy of so  much more time.

I catch up with our guide who appears to check the sky. More rain or not. You never can tell in England.

One last glimpse of another place that we won't visit on this day and then we go to the Minster, the centerpiece of our day in York. The place I visited Saturday after Saturday when I took my boys shopping in the market. A Saturday routine over 40 years ago. On this day, just a taste of what was.
