Today we did lots.

It was a sunny day, and we got up fairly early and stuff. We decided we should go to York, to visit the York Maze.

We got to the maze after a quick journey (it's quite easy to get to York) and we went in, we were presented with lots of paths that twisted and turned and generally looked like this -





The idea of the maze is that you wonder around and try to find the clue posts, that are indicated by flags that you can just about see from some points in the maze. Of cours, whenever we went up a bit we got attacked by wasps, which annoyed me, but nevermind. Here's one of the clue flags...





On the way around the maze, we went this way and that way, and got lost a few times. One of the times we ended up next to a whole load of sunflowers which looked like this -





Eventually we got to the end of the maze, where this scary chicken thing awaited us :o





(eek eh?)

Then, we came out of the maze and went and saw the cows. I attempted to feed one some grass, she was having none of it.





(Notice it was a really hot day, so I'm actually wearing shorts. :o )

We then left the maze and caught the park and ride bus into the centre of York. It dropped us off in the middle of nowhere so we wondered around a bit and got lost. We went into a nearby museum, got a touristy map thing, went back the way we came and eventually found one of the things we were looking for, York Minster, which looks like this -





Then, we were well back on track, so we left there and took a walk to the railway museum. The museum is huge! We did not get to see it all because we did not have time, but we did see lots. We saw many, many trains of all kinds, and we got to walk under one. It looked like this -





They also showed us one of the big train turntable things moving a train around the main hall, which was pretty cool. Just like Thomas the Tank Engine. Heh.

And, of course, the Flying Scotsman is there -





With it's front open! How bizarre like. It's being sorted because it goes out during the week. If we win the draw at the maze we could win a ticket :D

And then we came home, quite good really. It was really hot like!
