Torrential rain for the whole journey.
Approximately 130 miles, including a quick stop at home, to drop off "wedding attire".

Starts sunny with a little cloud, followed by lots of cloud, but, no rain!
Sunday, of course, is "Church day" for Kathleen. We cycle approximately 4 miles to York, English Martyrs Church.
After Church, we cycle into central York for a light lunch of coffee and sandwiches, after which, we find our way back to Naburn lock, via a slightly different route, which, I suppose, is a way of saying, we could not find our way back to our original route.

Starts sunny, followed by cloud, and then, rain.
A bus ride followed by a small spending spree, at the nearby Designer Outlet Centre. A suitable indoor venue for a cloudy and cool day.
Tuesday, 11th June 2019
Dismal day, windy, cloudy, cold, and occasional showers.
There are lots of wild flowers, to remind us, it IS summer!
The Marina is very smart, and we linger for coffee and cake, rather expensive however, £12 for what would cost £8 at Costa or Starbucks.
There is a Caravan/Motorhome area, right by the river, with excellent views, well worth considering
Wednesday,12th June 2019
Heavy rain throughout the night. Improving to light drizzle by morning, and just cool, rather than cold. Think positive!
Kathleen suggests a trip into York, shop(!), and have lunch. As much as I hate shopping, even I have to agree that, given the weather, it is a good idea.

Yet another night of heavy rain. This is becoming boring. Cloudy, mild, with just a hint of brightness this morning.
The weather forecast says it is not going to rain until 15:00 today, so, we set off on bicycles, to cycle to Selby, approximately 10 miles away (well, I have not actually told Kathleen this is my intention, such information is shared on a "need to know" basis). The route is rather good, mostly following some of Sustrans Route 65 (Trans-Pennine Route).
No complaints going, Kathleen even spots a deer just off the cycle track. Coffee and cake in Selby. The weather forecast lied, rain starts at about 12:00, as we are peddling back on our return journey, so, we do get rather wet.

This is definitely becoming tedious, rain all night, and, still raining all morning! Eventually, 14:00, rain stops but still thick cloud.
Looks as if the most exciting thing today is going to be Steak and Chips for evening meal!

Surprise, surprise, we are leaving, rain has stopped, sunny!
Home by lunch time.
