York Minister is the largest church for miles around which is unfortunately disintegrating so the damaged exterior stones are being replaced in a costly slow exercise. These are some of the damaged stones.

This couple were much older than us but managed to climb the tower - complete with raincoat covered knapsacks. We, on the other hand, piked out about 50 steps into the 272 step tower. Such pathetic creatures we are.
This wall is all that is left of a Catholic church which was destroyed on the command of Henry VIII. Squirrel is a lot younger and I love the bits of columns placed around the place to sit on.
We ate (twice) in this restaurant. It was originally the Assembly Rooms and very grand - and the food was excellent too.
The city is also hosting an exhibition of reproductions all over the city. I am hopefully going to see the original next week in London.
York was also recently the victim of a bit of a flood.
The highlight of the visit for me however was a visit to the new Quilt Museum. I couldn't take photos of the exhibition but it is really a brilliant venue and the Guild are rightly proud of their new home.
