[Sca-cooks] Re: Stonehenge Access

Ooh! Ooh! Where in York was that dealer? <evil grin> I'd love to have 
something like that, although I think I'd be afraid to wear it!
I adored York, but we were only there for about 24 hours, so the 
perambulation was limited.  We "did" the Shambles (sorta food-related), 
had lunch in a restored 15th? century manor hall (definitely 
food-related), went to the Jorvik exhibit, and toured the Minster, which 
is quite definitely one of my favorite places in the world.  I WILL go 
back some day!
