We took to the roads this week for a wee break in York. York is a beautiful wee city with history around almost every corner. Really enjoyed my visit, although the weather could have been kinder - like Edinburgh, York was smothered by the haar that covered the north-east coast for most of the week. Avoided frostbite, but gloves and heavy coats were more in evidence than sunglasses and teeshirts.
Got some nice photographs over the course of the week - York, Harrogate, Malton, Ripon and Pickering (!) - and I'll update my picture gallery soon.
On Saturday we headed up to Oban to try to catch some of the better weather, and by the time we reached Stirling we caught sight of an unusual object - the sun! Some stunning scenery en route and I'll post these pictures on-line soon too.
Hundreds of miles later, it's back to the real world again now, though - back to work on Tuesday and all the old issues lie in wait: ongoing funding issues at the NEN and the Unionist Club, a community conference next weekend and the next community council meeting is just round the corner. Can hardly wait ... what a lot to look forward to!
At least Hibs have achieved a top six finish - almost by default (muted cheers). Oh, and it's the Budget next week: my predictions have proved woefully poor in the past so here's a safe bet - stock up on booze and fags now!
Nice break while it lasted, though ...
