A Grand Day Out three
Today: Saturday
Place : York
Event: York Food festival
And the sun was shining again. The best Yorkshire produce on show and what a show it was. I could have spent an arm and a leg today but the four bags we had were full!
This first picture was a chef from the York uni explaining how the Romans used to cook using those large jars and the oven you can see in the background.


This guys wares were strawberries and cream.


Ummm


Yorkshire bees have been busy


An offering from the Thai community.


Check out the fruit.... seems to be scaring the .......out of the Thai lass. or was it me and my camera?


Bought a bag of stuff from these people, as we have before.


This is it at home. Some of Yorkshires best.


And finally a picture of our big church.....

Grand Day out 4
The good old Yorkshire sun was up and about this morning.
So the plan was, after abit of house keep it was time to leave with a picnic and head away somewhere.
York to Helmsey and up to Hawnby for a stop at Hazel Heads which is an open public area for the picnic, it was very quite with just us two there.
First three pictures are Helmsey.






Hazel Heads




A short walk to this delightful stream shows a lot a promise for some really nice photos on a future visit with maybe a bit more water.










Grand ride back home with some super views across Osmotherly moor.


And finally a stop at Boroughbridge by the weir for a coffee



I dont think there will be many more days like this to enjoy Yorkshire in the sunm before winter hits. It was a little chilly up over the tops. 8C and warmed up to 15C on the way home. Hope you have enjoyed the short tour of our Grand day out

Robert and another grand day out. (Well half day actually)
Not sure if any of you good people are into trains/railways?
We have the National Railway musuem in York.
Easy to get lost in the history for hours.


This is the one, The Mallard with a world speed record of 126mph




The Rocket


General view across the main hall


Inside the japanese bullet train. Looks more like a spacious aircraft.

Picture for the lovers of engineering marvels


The works


The Flying Scotsman


Not quite sure how to describe this one!

I hope you have enjoyed my short tour around the NRM, There is a lot more to see and experiance, and the great thing is its free!
