In Which the E of D, LM and LP Visit the Shires of Yorke

For those of you still in disbelief about my parents stepping food inside pubs, here is proof:


They even ENJOYED it.

I know. Shocking.

After walking over hill, dale and Hadrian's wall, we were knackered. We headed straight for York and our guest house.


No, unfortunately it wasn't this guest house. Would of been nice, but I think it was a bit rich for our budget. However, our guest house was on a nice quiet street and was clean and comfortable, which suited me fine. It was also in close walking proximity to City Centre, which suited me even better.

Naturally, we had to hit the Roman Baths in York. A trip, any trip, wouldn't be complete without visiting the Baths!

These baths were quite cool because they had an interesting collection of items from the Roman Occupation, such as weapons...
...writing implements (In keeping with the theme of our entire England tour.)...


... graffiti (No Roman settlement is complete without it. "Gladius Maximus is gonna kick Harius Minimus's backside", etc.)...

... and toilet paper. You read that right. Toilet paper. It's reusable. Good for the environment. The Romans were all about Green living. Who knew!

While we were there, Mom decided to join up. Doesn't she look fetching in her helmet?


We also took the opportunity to meet up with my mate, Jimbo (Say "hi" to the nice people, Jimbo.). Of course his name isn't actually Jimbo, it's James, but I don't think I've ever called him James. Ever. That would be weird.

I don't have a picture of Jimbo, 'cause he's camera-shy. But one of these days...

After a lovely afternoon in York, we hit the road on our way to Cambridge. A punting we will go...
