Trip to Beverley

 I didn’t have to catch the bus too early so pottered this morning and got a load of washing done. When I got to Beverley I called in t Vons, the hearing aid clinic to make a check up appointment as I have had then for almost a year now. I had a good wander round the town as I had plenty of time before going to an afternoon short concert.I went and had some lunch and then went to the Toll Gavel United Church where the concert was taking place. The concert was called ‘Cello: Through silence to sound.’ There was a lady who hd written a book researching a few remarkable cellists. She sat with a cellist by her side and told stories which were entwined with relevant cello music. I had quite a good view of them. I took a picture before it begun.

A very enjoyable hour. A picture of the church when I was leaving.
I had quite a while so went to a cafe for a cuppa and then a leisurely walk to the bus station. People were enjoying late summer drinks in the market square.
St Mary’s is always good for a photo.

I had trouble staying awake on the bus on both journeys! As it is usually take away night I got off the bus and went straight to the take away place and got my usual piece of chicken and chips! A bargain at £3.20.
Haven’t done a lot this evening, I have had a neglected cat on my lap!

  1. I’m pleased to hear the short concert went ok and that you enjoyed it. Definitely something different. As they say, you don’t know unless you try.
    I can’t believe you’ve had the hearing aids for nearly a year. Is the check up for you, or the hearing aids? 🙂 I hope they don’t tell you that you need a new pair! 😳
    The church had an unusual name. I assume a Toll Gavel has some meaning to it. Does look a nice place.
    Looks like you picked a great day for a trip out. Very summery indeed. We’ll probably get a foot of snow this winter to make up for it. That would be really nice ⛄️
    Buses always make me feel tired too. Maybe I should ride the late buses and sleep on them. More chance than in bed that’s a fact 😴
    I still fancy fish and chips or chicken and chips. Maybe another night.
    Enjoy the evening.

  2. It has been a lovely day, but a bit of a chill in the air now.
    I have the book that the concert was based on, so I will read it with more understanding now.
    I think one of my ears has got a bit deafer! So hopefully a check on them and me!
    I think your bus rides would be too short to really nod off. I have managed not to miss my stop……..so far😂
