This morning Tina and I headed off to York just after 8.30 am. She dropped me off at Clifton Moor shopping centre and that is where we would meet up after her training and meeting. I found the bus stop I had to wait at to get the bus into the city. It was about half an hours journey through an estate. I don't know York very well and I got off the bus sooner than I should have, so had a bit of a walk into the centre. When I came to the bridge at the bottom of Micklegate I walked a little away along the river path, so took this picture looking back at the bridge.

These two ducks looked so tiny as they came through the bridge.

As I walked into the town I realised that it was my ankle and not my knee that were going to give me problems today, as it was already really beginning to hurt. I passed the parish church of All Saints Pavement York and it was open so I went in. A lovely little church.

I had a wander in The Shambles, but by then I was really struggling, but loved this fabulous street.

I bought a couple of cards to write and sat in Kings Square to write them and rest. A lady sat next to me trying very hard to get me to give her some money, as I sat there I saw her try the same on anybody that would listen. The street entertainer said that she is around and trying it every day. You will be pleased to know that I didn't cave in! There was a quaint building in the square and to the left of the picture is the street entertainer who was a very good singer.

I had several cafe stops, caught the bus back to the shopping centre and still had about three hours before I met up with Tina. I had taken the second Mikey Walsh book with me and found a bench and made a good start on that and went into Wilko's where I managed to buy a light weight steamer saucepan, and as luck would have it they had a cafe! 
Met up with Tina who had had a good day, we had a bit to eat and then drove home, the traffic was very bad out of York.
I am now sitting here with my foot in a bowl of iced water. I think I overdid things yesterday and my ankle has rebelled, I will lay off too much walking tomorrow.
