David waves goodbye |
I get a ticket in first class |
Pretty ironwork in York Train Station |
I stay at Dean's Court Hotel |
My room |
The hotel is next to York Minster |
Another view of the Minster |
And the park next to York Minster |
Breakfast in the hotel |
Complex Systems offices in temporary buildings while waiting for a new builidng |
York Campus has a nice pond |
Where I see a family of geese |
And another goose family with younger chicks |
Here's a coot (just look at those feet!) |
A whole coot family comes to get food from me |
A mallard family comes over too |
And the coot chases them away! |
There were also morhens and their chicks |
Here's a morhen feeding a chick |
A pochard |
And even a black swan |
On the way back I get take away from Burger King |
And take the train |
To Glasgow? A broken PA plus some confusion, and four of us missed Edinburgh! |
We had to walk across Glasgow to Queen's Street Station |
Where we headed back to Edinburgh change trains in Haymarket |
And I finally get back home |
