YESTERDAY

We went over from Halifax to Kingston Upon Hull, to firstly have coffee with a former Uganda friend and to check the family graves in North Ferriby churchyard, found everything in good order.

Then into the City and found a parking place behind CERUTI's Restaurant where we enjoyed the view over the River Humber from the first floor Dining Room. An excellent place for good FISH.

A quick drive into the centre to locate the new City Archives and History Centre, look forward to a future visit as our family archives which were deposited in the University archives are now amalgamated into this very new and exciting History centre.

Then to Thorngumbald to see cousin Janet. Her garden is as usual most attractive and the Terriers liked the new smells but were stopped from crawling under the fence. Janet always has treats for them when we visit.

On the return we diverted to Swanland, my home village, to buy a loaf of bread and a break to look at the views from the top of Mill Road.

The M62 had been very busy when we started in the morning but by the evening was quieter and we had a clear run home
