FRIDAY 11^TH

This morning we went off driving to see if we could find the start of the Canal we had walked along earlier in the week however couldn’t.  We did find a lock along the way in another part that still hasn’t been restored.  This drive took us through a number of little villages and some farm land.  After doing some shopping in the supermarket at Polklington (the largest of the villages nearby)  we went back to the cottage for lunch.  Later in the afternoon we met up with Simon and followed him to his place where we had a lovely home cooked meal .   Before dinner he and Ian went for a walk up to see his shop and other things around their suburb just a few minutes out of York City centre.    We found our way home without any problems.

Part of a Canal that has not been restored.  As the restoration is by volunteers it is a long slow job as they are choked with grass and weeds.
