I'm heading to York this weekend for the Yorvik Viking Festival with [personal profile] mother_bones, having gone there last year with [personal profile] cosmolinguist who will be holding down the fort and looking after Gary.

This year we've got tickets for the festival finale which promises to be great. In a pleasing coincidence, the guy behind Edwyrdian Tales is one of the cast, playing Loki. I'm used to listening to him narrate horror stories so it'll be good to see him in this.

I'm not making many plans because a lot of things will depend on MB's energy levels. We're staying in a hotel looking out over Clifford Tower, about 100 metres from the finale event. Even if MB can't make it out of the hotel we can probably see a bunch of it from the window! We'll also try to watch the March to Coppergate.

It's been a while since I've been away just with MB, and I'm looking forward to it!

Yorvik!

This weekend just gone, [personal profile] cosmolinguist and I went to York during the Viking Festival. We'd been talking about having a weekend break for a little while, but we'd both been too busy and tired to actually organise one. Finally we managed to pull this together. We stayed in an AirBnB in the Rowntree Buildings, where Joseph Rowntree was born. It was nice and central, and comfortable enough though a little soulless in decor.

Overall, it was a nice break. A good mix of the thing we came to see, catching up with friends and just chilling out by ourselves. There's still a lot more of York to see, so I'd be happy to go back some time, but for a short break, it was pretty great, except for E not getting more sleep.
