Another day in York

The sun has continued to shine and the sights enthrall us

Minster cathedral

One of a many entrances

Spectacular colour for a hydrangea

Head turners straight from the 60's

This find was a hidden gem - Treasurer's House managed by the National Trust.

The website is worth a look; http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-treasurershouseyork

Many pieces of Rococo style Boulle furniture

Original needlework upholstery in this 1730 love-seat

17th century stumpwork

Detail

17th century bead basket used to carry rosemary

for guests at weddings and christenings

And the highlight of our visit - a beautifully hand quilted and hand embroidered quilt.

The staff member could not give me any info on the maker or date made. It was exquisite

and such a privilige to be able to photograph it even even in the darkened room.

Shame there was no label on the back of the quilt

The gardens were amazing

And the bees prolific

A shop below just for you Faye

And one for you Vanessa

And the queue at this tea room just ridiculous - must be worth the wait but not for us!

And a friend of Hamish's for you Jill

And dancing in York for you Sophie
