And more friends...

I knew no one in York when I arrived for my three month stay and was quite content to make my own way. But, as I've mentioned in previous posts, I've been overwhelmed by the friendliness and generosity of  neighbours and friends of Sue and Al's. Prior to London I met up with Jill at Cafe Concerto on Bootham and had a lovely chat. This Sunday just past I spent the afternoon/evening with Richard and Jean at Poppleton, seeing their lovely garden, walking on the outskirts of the village, being fed exceptionally well and enjoying wide-ranging conversation.

Here is the maypole on Poppleton Green - Richard and Jean tell me the local children still do the traditional maypole dances each year...

And here is me shielding the late afternoon SUN and carrying a pick-up rubbish bag!
