Pickering, North Yorkshire


The White Swan
This afternoon we arrived in Pickering, North Yorkshire for a 4 night stay at the White Swan.

A quick walk round the town revealed at least 4 bakeries, 2 chemists, an Indian, a Chinese, 3 pubs, an Italian, a fish and chip restaurant and a couple of cafes...and a Co-op supermarket...and several charity shops.   A bit short on delis!

We also investigated the station of the North Yorkshire Steam Railway.  A wonderful time warp.

We had a good meal in the hotel restaurant and a great bottle of wine.
 My pink lamb was fantastic, though Peter's steak was average.  When asked for our desert order we elaborately described the makings of an affagato only to be told it was on the menu (admittedly on the back) making us look like a couple of complete, pompous idiots!

Tomorrow, walking off the wine and food!
