And tell me is it still raining there in England?

Yep it is!
Had a wonderful day today. Went to York Minster Cathedral. What a fantastic building feat for people a thousand years ago. Not quite as massive as the Duomo in Florence, but impressive nonetheless.
Tim is getting used to being a pseudo Pom. He even likes the local beer. (It all tastes the same to me) He is calling Accrington- Accy like a native. If you are interested Accrington Stanley won 2-1. We got mentioned 3 times by the ground announcer (I'm going to kill Alison)
Tomorrow we will go to Burton Abbey and Skipton Castle.
The relies are currently watching Corrie (Coronation Street) so have taken the opportunity to make myself scarce. They actually tape it and send it to Perth. There is no accounting for taste is there? Every night we get a "special treat" (not) we get to watch Home & Away and Neighbours. I go into a semi-trance until the football or something comes on.
I am getting used to this English keyboard- nothing is where it is supposed to be, but there are less typos - have you noticed?
That's all for now as I really only wanted to access to get more photos on.
You will hear from us again soon.Much love
