Sorry to have fallen off the grid. After the wedding we had a bit of a resting lull. Sunday just revolved around returning Michael's hired wedding outfit and having lunch and all. Monday driving to York with Robin and Faye....the boot full of luggage and bits of cake and a huge arrangement of flowers tucked between us on the floor in the back.
York was really lovely in spite of the fact that the English weather has finally caught up with us. Drizzling and occasionally windy. But still an adorable little village with a very old castle:
and churches of course including the minster you can see across the village through the window in the castle:
which you can reach through a stroll through the cobbled streets amongst the crazy-angled shops in the Shambles:
then there is the minster:
A gorgeous cathedral with stunning stained glass - having survived nearly 1000 years. (When I can't keep wine glassed around for more than a few years!)
I know we can't do them justice in photos, but suffice it to say that we could stand to go back there for a few days to really take out time in both the minster and the town. Just beautiful.

Beautiful windows - it is amazing that they have survived all the wars and just general humanity for that long - that's about halfway back to Jesus, after all.
