May 30/10
Back into York to see the Castle Museum where they dress up as in the olden days and they have a street with shops that you would think would be in Dickens time. Then we went to York Minster to see the huge church. Unfortunately it was Sunday and they church services were going on until around 1pm or 2pm. We didn’t want to wait that long and so only so the outside of the beautiful church. So on to Grimsby for lunch. No… that didn’t work too well. By the time we got there it was 2:40 and every restaurant and pub stops serving lunch (on Sunday) at 2:30, no matter what!. We decided to eat a few of the cookies Elinor was kind enough to pack for us and that held us over until we got to Boston. A fellow in a bar directed us to the White Heart Inn and we booked a room, then went pub hopping and had dinner, 5.79 pounds for roast beef, potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, vegetables and a drink (wine or beer). Good food, good meal. We have been passing a lot of caravans (trailers) on the road. All of them are quite small but are probably used just for weekends. We have passed a few signs with a picture silhouette of two old people and it says “Blind People” or “Elderly People” crossing. What are these people doing crossing the roads by themselves!!!! Off to South End tomorrow.

Hi Bonnie & Joe:
ReplyDeleteSouthend is near Great Wakering where Larry's mum & dad lived. Mom & I went to Southend when we visited in 1976. Wonder if anyone has beat our beer drinking feat at the Exhibition pub! Have a great birthday tomorrow Bonnie.
