Today would see us come to the end of our six week galavant around the UK. Thats not to say that we wouldn’t be coming back at the end of the year, and as such it would be more of a ‘see you later’ than a ‘goodbye’. Still, we weren’t leaving just yet, and so we planned on making the most of our final day. Although we had seen a small snippet of York the previous day, we decided to head back into town once more, to delve a little deeper into the history of this area, which was first settled almost two thousand years ago.

Now, naturally, every adventure requires proper fuelling, and with our imminent departure from the land of scones looming, we snuck into a little tea rooms off The Shambles, and hunkered down to enjoy one last cream tea. As exciting as the upcoming foray back into mainland Europe was, it was impossible to ignore the sadness I felt about leaving my ancestral motherland, and a place where we had created so many fond memories. Still, my melancholy was swallowed with the last bite of jam and cream smothered scone and the last sip of tea, and we were soon on our way once more.
