Yes, that’s the one!

An historic moment yesterday as pieces of the shrine of St William of York, removed in the Reformation, returned to the nave of York Minster after a 500-year absence.

See them in the Minster’s undercroft museum from this weekend, with free admission for York residents (bring proof of address).

What ICE is doing in the United States Nigel Farage has told us he wants to do in the United Kingdom.

The west face of York Minster at night, illuminated in purple, stands at the end of a narrow street, its two west towers disappearing into mist.

Misty January nights in York.

York Minster, seen along a dark Chapter House Street. Honestly, the jump from December to January was feeling like quite a jolt, until I was reminded that it means Yorkshire forced rhubarb season approaches! And besides, it’s Christmas until Candlemas, right?

The top of a large iced cake which features a large marzipan cathedral dusted with icing snow surrounded by trees, 12 choristers, and a border of shiny silver decorations.

My Christmas cake decoration this year is a scale model of York Minster fashioned from marzipan surrounded by 12 edible choristers

As it’s York Minster, note the Tudor roses adorning her garments!

A sculpture representing St Cecilia, in York Minster.

For the Feast of St. Celicia, 22nd November.

A representation of the patron saint of music plays the mediaeval portative organ: one hand operating a keyboard; the other, the bellows.

Someone pauses at a corner on York's city walls to photograph York Minster dramatically illuminated by a low sun in front of dark clouds.

When you have to stop to capture the moment.

Anticipating allegations of egg-tampering 😄

“Oh, this is the street that…” No, it wasn’t.

I agree; I suppose at least Potions Cauldron and the like aren't selling anything licensed (or pretending to be), so aren't contributing directly but tangentially benefitting from the increased interest in 'wizard' themes. I miss Via Vecchia, though.

It's been astronomical autumn for over an hour now, guess I should accept it : /

September. Late summer or autumn?

This image from Jez of York compresses centuries of rooftops into a beautiful golden vista so redolent of historic York.

We love the way in which the lancet windows of the North Transept, the iconic Five Sisters, stand out so beautifully.

A (rather damp) fox for Friday. Despite my best efforts, I’m afraid it spotted me, but wasn’t disturbed ☺️

Evening sun and shadows on the north of York Minster’s nave.

Golden sunlight catches castellations on York’s city walls and lime trees beyond. An interval tower sits in the near distance.

An evening walk on York’s medieval city walls.

The earthworks on which it is built are older, and this stretch probably follows the western perimeter of the Roman colonia - the civilian area of the city south of the River Ouse, with the military fortress on the other side.

A golden Grand. York’s five-star hotel and spa, in the prestigious former headquarters of the North Eastern Railway Company, basks in evening sunlight.
