Flying visit to Leeds

---

this week to give Sophie's new flat the once over. Its very nice, not far from the last one but this one is in an old Victorian house beside the park, so there are lots of trees. Its a nice flat, and she has it looking very homely. We spent some time in Knaresborough yesterday, looking at the petrifying well, and walking round the castle. Some pics, but the well was under trees so its a bit dark.

Sophie
was nearly petrified! Don't get too close. People hang things up under the waterfall, and eventually they get a covering of calcite! Lots of teddy bears, but also gloves, scarf, a cricket bat and a lobster.

there are a couple of hats
from 150 years ago that just look like lumps of rock, and Queen Mary's shoe which has been put in the musem - you could see all the detail on that.
