Another lovely day exploring York. We start the day walking in along the river and set off to the garden to see what the squirrels were up to. Armed with nuts this time, we expected […]

Day Seventy Three
We spent today exploring York, and what a beautiful city it is – 2,000 years of history on our doorstep. And guess what? The squirrels are back! We see the first of them on our […]

Day Sixty Five
Another day mainly travelling moving ever southward. We spend most of the day on the road, going past soft green hills and pasture. It’s very apparent that we have left the wilderness behind us and […]
