Another wonderful day and very special to us! We had a delightful breakfast at the Golden Fleece and caught a taxi to the train station and got a train for York. As we pulled into the station, I said I wonder how we'll find her? (A family going to the Sunday morning fellowship meeting nearest Thirsk had volunteered to drive to York to pick us up as the train didn't go any closer and there were no buses on Sunday mornings.) The station wasn't too busy and we spotted Ruth right away. We thanked her and hopped in her car and off to their home in the village of Ricall, where we met the rest of the family, husband Stuart, daughter Marisa (I think she is 21) and son Keith (17), had a nice cuppa before driving to Cawood, the village where the meeting is, in the home of Joan Liddle. There were two not there, so they were glad of visitors in their little meeting. We then went back to Dalgleish's for lunch and a really nice chat. Then they took us to York for a walking tour - so kind of them. We hopped on a return train to Thirsk in late afternoon.

A snack while waiting for our train... we really felt obliged to, just in the interest of scientific research mind you, not because we wanted to, have regular samplings of local desserts. Here we made the discovery that Yorkshire milkshakes are not quite as sweet as American, and a little light on flavorings, but still quite delicious of course!
