than it is to stay at home imprisoned in lockdown

Tunes on Tuesday ~ Sail Away
the wind and the waves are always on the side of the navigator
The main reason I’ve posted this Chris Rea song is because I love the video.
On a day when the wind is perfect, the sails just need to open and the world is beautiful again.

Tips for Visiting the City of York
Yorkshire folk are not fools, just taciturn
do not try to drive in the City of York
you will get lost and frustrated
~
in the City of York, pedestrians ignore motor traffic
~
get a good map of the city centre
which will not stop you from becoming hopelessly lost
~
always carry an umbrella
which you will find utterly inconvenient, and lose
~
the pub grub is good and so is the beer, which is warm brown and flat
~
there are bus tours and walking tours of the city
to be recommended if you are an American
at least you won’t get lost
~
visit; The Minster, The Railway Museum, The Shambles, the City Walls, Clifford’s Tower, and York Art Gallery

Scenes on Sunday ~ York Signage

Random Jottings ~ Travel
vacations in California are good for me
it’s better to to take a road trip in a convertible Mustang
than it is to arrive
~
live with no apologies, travel with no regrets
~
travel, you can always get more money
you can’t buy more time
~
choose your travelling companion wisely
you will be sharing your life with her
~
I have nothing to lose and a whole world to explore
~
the journey of a thousand miles begins with buying a ticket
~
travel broadens the mind, sitting around broadens the behind

given a choice
always travel in style
A Short Break to History
the thing about English History is that there’s a lot of it
it is the most haunted city in England
~
history is not a burden on the memory
but an illumination of the soul
~
look for ghosts with an open mind and you will find them
~
there are a lot of local legends about this ancient city
devils, cats, tiny streets, and witches
~
the construction of England is the art of the possible
~
here in England we don’t think that 1787 is such a long time ago

Songs on Saturday ~ Lovely Day
this is the first day of the rest of my life
I just wanted to play something gentle and uplifting today. This Bill Withers song fits the bill perfectly.
I hope you remember this as well as I do.
