MY husband and I do not venture into town in the evenings very often, but last Wednesday was our wedding anniversary and we decided to go out for a meal.

It was a lovely evening and as we walked around town there were lots of people sitting outside bars and restaurants eating and drinking.

We could have been anywhere in the world.

The sun was shining on the Minster and everywhere looked so beautiful.

We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful city.

A few years ago we spent an evening in Hayes and spent around an hour looking for a nice restaurant to have a meal.

There was nowhere we fancied and sometimes we were almost knee deep in litter.

We ended up eating in a pub where there had been a murder the previous week.

There was a police sign outside asking for witnesses to come forward.

Give me York any day.
