Just back from a short break down in York. Its been many years since I have visited the area so was looking forward to it. The Christmas market and the lights were switched on was last Thursday so the town centre was very busy we shoppers inc ourselves. We did not do much sight signing as we were busy with Christmas and general shopping duties. The weather was dry and cold on the first day. We stopped at the Travelodge 6 miles out of the city for around £23 per night compared to £135-£155 in the centre per night. There was plenty free car parking, quiet and no hassle. We also had a look around two out of town chopping centres - Monks Cross and Mc Arthur Glen, first time we have been to both and was very impressed. That day was wet but warm but mainly indoors. Again it was more shopping! We also called in past Sam Turner at Northalerton for a look around and treat myself to a new Stihl early crimbo present to myself! This place is massive and could have spent many hours looking around the man gear / tools! Café is canny upstairs as well. Then we also called in Morrisons at Darlo further up the A167 for a boot full of food / drink/shopping and a tank full of fuel!
Some new reading literature for the coming weeks / months -
and last but not least my Christmas present to myself that I have been wanting to purchase for many years.
