Never a dull moment


There have been record crowds passing below our apartment in York this week as they head to the National Rail Museum. We had a look past yesterday but deferred our visit when we heard that the queue would last 30 minutes in the extreme heat.

The traffic jams were also caused by visitors to the York (horse) races and those visitors were hitting the town last night - and a lot seem to pass our place through the night.

I've had my best run of the week this morning by reverting to my usual "getting up" time - managed an hour on the riverside paths before the sun got too hot.

This morning there is Dragon Boat Races on the River Ouse - a bit like our Long Boat Races in Peel. The photo was taken a few minutes ago from our balcony. There is a very loud PA - that's not Dot I hear is it?

We are going out of York for the day before the traffic builds up.
