Back from our day in York!

As you all can see from the pictures below, we are now home from our trip to York. We spent one day there and the weather cooperated wonderfully - Praise God!

We went to Cliffords Tower and found that very fascinating after our recent study with the children of William the Conqueror.

We also went on the Roman walls of York and then to York Minster.

But one of the most interesting place we went to was Shambles Street. It certainly helps one to understand the full meaning of when something is "in shambles"!!

Although I think the children most enjoyed our visit to the Jorvik Centre- which is where Big Mr got his opportunity to try on a real Viking helmet!

And be sure to check out our new Family Photo, if you haven't seen it yet.

Apologies!

My sincerest apologies to my faithful blog readers - all three of you! LOL

After about 6 weeks of illness here (colds, fevers, dr appts, dental appts, ER visit, scarlet fever, lower respiratory tract infection) - we are finally well again - Praise God!!!!

So, I am truly sorry for not keeping up the blog, but it has been "manic" as they say in Britain. The Big Mr has been working away from home a lot as well, which has added a bit to our schedule.

Here is a picture of Junior, taken in April, to tide you through:
