Last night turned into an early morning, or perhaps more correctly, a late morning. In the company of Kate and Bill the Bazflyers deferred sleep last night to watch the UK election results unfold on TV. Some limited sleep ensued and then with everyone satisfied with the election outcome it was a jaunt down the old Roman road to the city of York.
York was founded in 71AD by the Romans and named 'Eboracum'. In the Middle Ages it was an important wool trading centre and seat of the northern Church of England. The latter is represented by the Minister that still today presides over the city. Constructed in stages over a period of about 200 years the York Minister is one of the great cathedrals of the world and the largest gothic church in northern Europe. It is impressive...!
The Bazflyers have been to York on at least two previous occasions. However, any visit to York is not complete without walking through the 'Shambles' a maze of twisting, narrow lanes that make York so charming. These are arguably among the best preserved medieval streets in the world. Now which Bazflyer on a solo mission got lost and had to use GPS technology to find the designated meeting spot...?
