You could take me all over the world to see many different places, but nothing would ever be like the feeling I get when I return to #York. It is a city I love, with a station I adore, and being here is always like wearing a comfortable pair of shoes.

Hello York.

Morning 5km run
A lovely lap of the walls before the clouds came in. No matter how many times I run on the walls, I always forget how many blooming steps there are! 😂
Happy Monday! 😃🏃‍♀️

Beautiful morning, already very warm, and a gorgeous start to the day. Into town, past The Minster, by St Peter's School and along the river.
Happy Wednesday! 😃🏃‍♀️

St George slaying the dragon from the the medieval wall paintings in the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul in Pickering which are believed to date back to around 1450. They were almost lost forever when they were covered with whitewash in the Reformation.

Greetings from Holy Trinity Goodramgate on St George's Day. St George is one of the saints featured in the East Window dating from c. 1476. There will be a brass rubbing activity available in the church all week if you are looking for things to do. Free, but donations welcome.
