29th Nov. 2008 - York

It's Saturday, Ruth and Gordon stayed last night and we watched 'Mamma Mia' - great, cheesy, bazaar, funny and altogether just what I needed. Saturday is our regular trip to York and being aware that the Christmas Fair was on, I was determined to make the journey. To be honest, I managed better than I thought, the only worrying factor was a distinct shortness of breath and some discomfort in my sternum, which went away if I rested.

We had coffee with our pal Allen, then headed off to pick up some retirement cards, one for my brother and one for my old boss from Nestle Occupational Health. By the time we got back to the stalls it was impossible to move, let alone get near to them, so we decided to call it a day.
