Girls in Helmsley, part 2

Next day, Sunday, we woke up to think fog, so we had a hearty cooked breakfast, read the papers, and eventually ventured out.  There were very heavily dewed spiders webs everywhere, but it was still very pleasant.

We had a potter round the town, went to the castle, which we could barely see,


and bought loads of things for Christmas from the little shops.  We paid a visit to one of my favourite shops – a dolls house heaven, where an elderly couple have a treasure trove of everything in minature for a dolls house.

Evening meal in The Feathers was very pleasant, and the next morning we had a walk to see the Highland cows, as one of them had a two day old calf.  Ahhh, cute.



Then the bus back to York, and an enormous couple of platters in The Stonegate Yard – a bar recommended to us by twitter.



A great weekend as usual.
