Friday 30th December 22 – Tuesday 3rd January 2023.
We are enjoying a four night break in Homer on the outskirts of York in the company of Peter and Alison.
The site is approx a kilometre from Monks Cross retail Park where there is a Park and Ride service into the centre of York, which cost us£3.50 return for Michelle and £1.20 for me.😊
We took advantage of the service when we travelled into York and wandered its many narrow streets including the famous Shambles.
Of course a visit to York wouldn’t be complete without looking at the famous minster, you have to pay to go in and unfortunately Layla isn’t allowed in so we had to make do with the exterior view.
Of course it’s a very tiring experience walking around a city and the need for nourishment soon raised its head so we had a very good meal in a hotel restaurant The Judges Lodgings, the cutlery even came wrapped in a linen napkin.
One of the interesting things you can’t help to note as you walk around is the range of street names.
We celebrated New Year’s Eve with a range of food and drinks in Peter and Alison’s motor home making it the fourth time we have managed to do so over the time we have been motor homing together, we should have stayed here two years ago but the Covid lockdown meant we had to cancel. January 1st was a quiet ish day but we did visit the adjacent retail park at Monks Cross where some of the stores were open. On Jan 2nd we returned to York and whilst Peter and Alison visited the “historical “ parts Michelle and I walked the narrow streets and partook in some retail therapy.
We purchased Homer in March 2017 and opened a new chapter in our lives, we have travelled many miles since then and have covered a fair bit of the UK plus nine European countries some several times. At the end of November when we sold our French house we decided as we wouldn’t be spending 10 weeks a year there we would in the future “up” the number of trips we did in the motor home. As Homer is 23 years old we decided to upgrade to a newer motor home that would provide us with a little more comfort and a more modern driving cab, we take delivery of that on January 14 th 2023 so this will probably be the last blog from Homer.
