When visiting York in July you might expect it to be busy and hope for good weather. During our visit this week it was relatively quiet, probably due to the fact the temperature was in the high 20’s bordering on 30°C.

York Minster was as cool as a cucumber although you noticed the heat walking out from it’s peaceful interior into the blazing sun. I’m not complaining I’m just trying to get across the unusually warm conditions for the UK. My weather app reckons its +13 above the average daily high for this time of year.

Anyway enough about the weather here are some street scenes from said visit:

Couldn’t tell in the shadow if this guy was going in or out.

We were definitely inside looking out for the next shot.

The butchers on the corner.

The Famous Bettys Tea Rooms. There’s generally a good queue for this place.

 I called this Side Street simply because it was off to the side (and I didn’t get the name).

 I liked the light and shadow in this image.

On this visit to York we used the park and ride. If you go to York consider the Park and Ride options available, we found it handy and good value.
