Thursday 12th August pm - Day 2 York Off we went as we were heading for the York Art Gallery which was on the road back to our B&B. The Gallery had had major alterations and had only reopened on the 1st August after being closed for 2 years. We paid our £7.50 and went off into the new gallery. The paintings were in the main lovely. Very little from well known artists and again there was a First World War section. There was a large pottery exhibition tha...

Thursday 12th August late am - Day 2 York We wandered out into the sun and although it wasn't as sunny as it was the day before it was far more humid. Jannie wanted to sit down so we went off to find a beer stop. After lunch we went down through the park to the river. There were new cafes and the river boat was coming back up the river.

The Jannie armed with the map guided us through the Old town. We had to find a Post Office and then a coffee stop. At this...

Tuesday 11th August pm Shegness to York via Grimsby The roads were very good the traffic easy to drive amongst. No one was driving over the speed limit and I suspect that the number of speed cameras had a bit to do with that. We got to Grimsby and were going to see the sea as Grimsbury is at the mouth of the Humber River. But not to be. Found a parking building but it was in a huge mall. We stayed all of half an hour. Jill I hope "need" comes to the fore...
