We had an early breakfast and drove to a York carpark about a mile out of town. From there a bus to town was inexpensive.

On our previous visit to the Minster (on a Saturday) the tourist lines outside the Minster were long. Upon our return on a Wednesday morning, we had the place to ourselves, plus a few others.

Like St. Pat's in Dublin, this was an Anglican church, never at risk of 'being sacked', as all Catholic Abbeys in England were.

Out & about in old York, on a quiet mid-week day.

We were back at dusk and found Holly with her proficient horse, Nellie. The images are a bit blurry, which gives a sense of movement. As the last photo shows, they are a great pair.
