Insanity is hereditary I got mine from my children.......

yes one of those chins belongs to my daughter.......

There was a reason behind this oddness - this was the submission from Pe33les (my daughter) and Mazzertron (her friend) for an intro to the following (their submission is at 0:19):

Exercise....

So exercise....... about time I got off my backside and did something...........

I set off from Park Street with no aim in mind and found myself wandering up onto the walls.

A beautiful, sunny day and the walls were quiet. It is a long time since I've walked the Micklegate to Red Tower section - I took a few photos on the way, some of which turned out ok.

Cupola on the Bar Convent

looking back at Micklegate Bar

I just love the roof-line of Scarcroft Primary School :)

a view of the Minster from beside Baile Hill

York Castle (well a little bit of it)

Catkins beside the River Foss

the top of Fishergate Postern

I would have taken a 'full' picture of the postern but forgot until I was too close!

Looking back towards Fishergate Bar

passing the Barbican - pity about the modern house roofs

(I prefer 'rooves' to 'roofs' but I will go with the supposedly correct form.)

Walmgate Bar - which houses Gatehouse Coffee

alongside Foss Islands Road

from the new Hungate footbridge looking towards the Minster.

The wasteland in-between will become more new apartments and town-houses.

All Saints, Pavement

Oliver's, Micklegate.

I would like to know what Oliver's was.

As you might notice from the pictures I didn't go all the way round the walls. I will set off in the other direction next time! Not sure why I omitted taking a picture of the Red Tower, I'll try to remember next time. 

Coffee break on the walls. . .

Gatehouse Coffee

Walmgate

Huge comfy sofas, excellent coffee...

... I will be back!

Walking the walls

Set off for a walk and ended up on the walls - beautiful day. Pictures to follow (hmm I've said that before!)

rather a long break.....

....... normal service (whatever that may be) is returning...

Life has seemed a little non-directional for a while. Time to get back.... well not on track .... more get back off the track! Never been one for tracks but recently, to extend this metaphor a little, I have been stuck in a bloody big rut on some track I accidentally wandered on to! So back to forging my own trail......

New project: knitting a jumper, picture to follow :)
New game: Munchkin - fantastic game, particularly if you have numbers of teenagers around!
New food: umami paste
