    For those of us that like caravanning/motor homing. I can recommend Rowntree Park (caravan Club Site) a mere 5-10 minute walk to the minster. and adjacent to the river.

    Keeping Warm in the work shop

    The cold weather is upon us, I am really feeling the cold this year. In the past I have used electric heating to try and keep a modicum of warmth in the shop.
