• Family in York

    May 19, 2024 in England ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Sadly, I was forced awake early, hungover and tired because Cait had her half marathon early Woke up early in the morning. When I managed to organise all of my belongings (minus my charger), I said my goodbyes, grabbed a coffee to keep me moving and headed to the train station. Although the public transport in London is exceptional I was hardly in the mood. In the end it almost went horribly as it was very difficult to get an Uber but luckily one came for me in the end just in time to make the train. I met Brendan outside the train station and we boarded our 2 hour train to York. It worked out well that we could spend the two hours catching up before disembarking and wandering around York. Of course, we had a lot of time to explore York with the family, and given we had our bags, we stopped at the pub for a drink and a quick feed. This was the chance to try my first British Sunday roast, and it was bang average so I'm hoping I got a shit one. Then, as the F1 started we found another pub that had some TVs before sitting down and watching. Not long after the folks wandered past so we could say g'day before they continued to the accommodation to drop off their bags. We finished off the F1, which wasn't particularly exciting as Max Verstappen won, before the EPL kicked off straight after. So we sat with the family, drinking, watching sports and chatting. The EPL was as uneventful as the F1 as Manchester City won, but eventually Melissa and Andrew arrived and we could really begin the family holiday. For the first time in a long time the whole family was together, and the fact we all made it to York was a miracle. After a couple drinks we headed to a different pub for a feed before all heading to the accommodation and relaxing for the evening.Read more
