Pattern Beware larks, we’re up, about and after you.  Decide Breakfast is a dish best served elsewhere so we head to the train station, eat one bacon barm and one sausage barm (you can guess who had which!) at the caff at the station. Then onto the 07:48 to York.
Train journey is uneventful with the exception of pheasant and bunny spotting.  Arrive at York, utilise their water closets and head to the Railway Museum.  Rodents we’re an hour early and its breezy and chilly again.  Get some grief about that! Yep, truly I am in control of the weather!  Eventually we get in and what a fab time we had.  We find Steven a suitable cushion which we find amusing anyway!  After a couple of hours hooning around with the camera we head to the road train.
Dropped at the Minster.  Executive decision is taken to view the Minster then seek food on the basis that everyone will be eating now.  The Minster is suitably beautiful and interesting. C gets carried away with the archaeology, I still struggle with that one!  Still it’s a historically interesting venue. We end up with a new duck and church mouse from the shop!
Lunch provides a few issues, restaurants are full but we eventually find a Greene King pub to eat in.  Both of us have the steak pie including a crust manufactured of reinforced concrete, I even try applying gravy to soften it.
Follow lunch with a gentle stroll to the station. C is suffering but she’s walked a relatively long distance today. We have a rest near the station, then into the Tap for a pint as we wait for the train. I Should Be So Wookie for me, delicous!
Uneventful train journey home and gentle stroll across the bridge back to the hotel.

Poxy colour prompt today, always a challenge when trying to deal almost exclusively in monochrome. Thankfully this red man at the crossing benefits from shape in addition to colour as a tool to convey the message!

Luckily it’s still wintery here so was able to wander about in the dark looking for this image.

In other news am keeping busy which is keeping the blues at bay.  My mental health is still a little on the fragile side.  Could do with finding some sort of mood tracker for this place.  Theres a challenge for me.

Musically has been a bit of a good day, new single from Kevin and discover the delights of The Blake Babies courtesy of a link via Bob of the Dentists. Always good to come across new stuff!
