Last Weekend in the UK

 My last weekend in the UK found Margaret and I headed south again, this time to York. There aren't many photos as it was a fairly wet two days.

We had two great days with our dear friends Phil & Sarah and their two children. Not a lot of sightseeing, this weekend was about friends, catching up, and shared experiences.

We arrived just after noon to be greeted at the door with "This is my house, and I'm called Leo!"

After a picnik in the kitchen we were off to the park to meet up with Leo's friend Ruby. After some serious play time and an ice cream at the cafe it was back home to prepare dinner and wait for Phil.

Friday was girls day out, and we headed out of town to Castle Howard, this is the mansion used for Brideshead and Brideshead Revisited. We weren't able to see all of the house, filming for a new BBC series was in progress. Watch for Death Comes to Pemberly, adapted from the PD James novel. We also had girls night out at the pub on Friday, we did leave little Elodie at home with Phil for the evening.

Saturday morning and we were all walking the grounds at the York Racecourse, to find great bargains at the York Car Boot Sale. Leo came away with the biggest and best find, a large Buzz Lightyear figure that speaks both English and Spanish.  Afterward Margaret and I headed back to Glasgow.

Sunday we took Margaret's grandchildren to Troon for lunch. On the way back we stopped at Castle Dean for a great tour.

Now it's time to pack, and hope there is still an empty seat on the flight out of Edinburgh tomorrow morning. Oh, and I will be able to watch episode three of The White Queen, then I'll be waiting until probably until February for episodes 4 to 6 or 10, I can't remember how many.
