My birthday in Yorkshire

Had really lovely day yesterday. Martin joined me at York in the evening (he got the train from ALDC conference in Leeds). Last night we dined at co-operative Spanish/Latin cafe which we totally recommend! Today we visited Fountains Abbey - it was so breath-taking! Have added a picture here.Fountains Abbey ruins

We will definitely be coming back here again soon! We're in car now - Martin's driving the 2nd leg of our journey home!

York Minster

York Minster

Old York! Old York!

York is cute, quaint, and beautiful! Can't believe I haven't been here before today! Can see myself visiting this city again and again! So many alleys radiating off the streets which lead to small secret treasures of the city! Just been to Richard III museum and the Treasurer's House. Now contemplating my next move! :)

Greetings from Yorkshire!

Drove up to Leeds as soon Martin finished work and the car serviced! Well I didn't drive all the way up - Martin did the most of the way!

Martin is now fast asleep - knackered from motorway driving and I'm here writing this entry (managed to find a wireless service - three quid for
30 mins. Expensive I know but I don't care!)

Tomorrow Martin's off to ALDC Conference (Association of Liberal
Democrats Councillors) in Pudsey - I'll be dropping him off tomorrow
morning there and then drive to York where I shall be on a shopping
spree!!! Its my birthday weekend and it's a perfect excuse :) Martin
will meet me up later in York and we'll go out for a birthday dinner.

Martin gave me his present to me this afternoon - there wasn't any point hiding a huge packaging in our car! Its a DVD recorder with HDD - 80GB
meaning I can record up to 227 hours on its hard drive - cool or what?
I'm so over the moon - but the downside is that I can't use it until we
drive back home on Sunday - heheh :)

Gonna sleep now - night night
