A Rainy Day Out

This time last week me and my boyfriend David went on a rainy day out. We'd planned it beforehand and had decided we wanted to walk over to Johnstone Gardens as he'd never been there before. It looked strangely autumnal but there was that great summer rain smell in the air. Afterwards we decided to stop for a morning break of banoffee tart and hot chocolate with marshmallows at the Gordon Highlanders museum tearoom. David wanted to go into the actual museum part but as it was a budget day out we decided to do it another day and then found an itison deal for half price entry so snapped that up for future use! We walked back into town for some boring shopping then had a late lunch at Revolution (with a Spree book voucher - still saving up for holidays so ever penny counts!). We were going to go to the cinema but David got a last minute night shift so we didn't have time. 

Day two in York

David bought me flowers from the market this morning, they're such a pretty colour and up close look like tiny wee thistles! We don't have a vase here so the jug will have to do. We went back to the Banana Warehouse furniture place today, it was open so we had a rummage. Lots of pianos and frames and odd cabinets, nothing that would be easy to take home though. I just love how it's completely full up to the roof with treasures (and junk!). We went for afternoon tea/late lunch at the Little Shambles Tea Room to get warm from a slushy day. I had the traditional and comforting cream tea, David had sandwiches and the deluxe hot chocolate which came with strawberry marshmallows. Such a cosy little  place!
