On Sunday we went for a walk in Roundhay Park, enjoying the lovely Autumn colours.

We revisited Beamish as the forecast for today was good. This is the bus that we caught to travel around the site.
We looked inside the cottages in the Pit Village and enjoyed the smell of the coal fires.
Just across the road is the Methodist Chapel.
Next door is the school which contained many of the things that we remember from our school days in the 50's.
Just as we were leaving two Clydesdale horses were being washed in readiness for the farrier's visit.
A short drive away is Hedley Hall Wood where Glenys owns a small patch of woodland. We had not visited since 2006 and were pleased with how well the trees have grown.
This is the panorama view from the bottom end of the wood.

Friday 1st November
This evening we returned to York to see more of the events in the festival.
These lights told a story and were projected onto the façade of St Helen's Church.
In the garden of the Treasurer's House students from the university created a strange scene with light, fire, smoke and dance.
Inside the house ghostly tales were told in each candlelight room.

This evening we visited 'Illuminating York' with Rachael and Mike.

Our first stop was in the Museum gardens to watch a projection experience telling the story of the Viking king Eric Bloodaxe.
From there we walked to York Minster where, for the first time this decade, the pews had been removed from the nave leaving an impressive space.
Some of the country's top urban graffiti artists were working at one end of the space.
The most atmospheric event was the spiral of light created by candles lit in memory of a loved one.
In the Memorial Gardens we walked a trail around a series of fiery sculptural instillations.
Our last stop was at the National Railway Museum where all six of the remaining Class A4 locomotives were displayed with effective light and sound.
