Saturday, 15 July, 2017 – weather grey, drizzly, raining
The weather does not look that great and, in fact, it wasn’t most of the day. We are up early and Julie goes out for a reconnaissance.
Julie comes back after 9:00 and gets ready to go out again. She has a formal tour scheduled at 11:00. She also confirms that it has been raining. Maybe not so good for the York Race goers but I imagine they had a good time any way. I had been blogging and my back was a bit sore so I laid down on the bed just to rest the back and immediately passed out until about 11:20. Clearly Julie was gone by then. Apparently she missed the start of the tour but managed to catch up with the group.
Julie finally returns around 1:45, the tour was to have finished at 1:00. It was advertised as free but the leader asked for donations. I was feeling a bit peckish by then as I had a bit of ham on toast at 7:00 AM so suggested that we go out for a late lunch / early dinner. Julie changes clothes and we get on the road, the rain seems to have slowed by then.
In fact, there was only one other table in use when we were showed in although the place did start filling up later on.
The Whippet Menu is very interesting
The salad on my plate magically disappeared. As well:
Well, that was the best restaurant meal we have had in England on this trip – it was really worth while and the Whippet is highly recommended. On our way out we peek into the special side room.
Well, that is enough for me for the day so we walk back to the farm. Fortunately, the rain isn’t too bad. But Julie is not finished, she is to go on a Ghost Tour at 8:00 PM. The tour was a disappointment and largely covered the same ground as the earlier one so no new photos except the following weird ones:
The good fairy to wish us good night?
