Snowy Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Oi, you two, no domestics on here! Hope you have a good time Emma - I went to York Christmas market many years ago (on the train ). It was wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I love York too and my little Godson lives there (he was 1 on Thursday ) Dan, my family went to the Railway Museum in August and said it was absolutely brilliant. 18yo girl said it was one of the best places she had ever been - and she wasn't interested before she went! Some people from Surrey did a day trip to York on the train (for Godson's christening) but it is quite expensive. Have a great time on December 2nd!

Egluntyne Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 York would be another good spot for an Omlet meet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Oooh, Dan, I need to take the boys to see the trains at York! When are the steamies there? Do you mean a big wheel train, a Sterling Single? Would love to see one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 York would be another good spot for an Omlet meet! Tie it in with all those special visiting steam engines next Summer and you can put us down for it - they have a big wheel there now too! Any idea of the dates?

gooner.girl Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 DH, a friend, her hubby and myself got stuck on that wheel for ages at the top when we went to York... Still... was a nice view... Heres the view.... Heres the wheel itself. York is lovely. We went there for a long weekend with some close friends and had a fantastic time! The boys especially liked the railway museum. Marie and i left them to it and went shopping... Came back to find DH had taken loads of photos of random trains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Oh a real big wheel! Not a train then Looks great, must get up to see it soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Helen thanks for the pic from the top of the wheel. now I never have to go up in it I went on the London Eye in the summer (with 20 odd year 7's) - didnt enjoy it much, needed to hold on dont like heights much (cant for the life of me work out why I have taken up indoor rock climbing ) - or rather, dont like the falling part much cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
