I HAVE just paid my annual visit to my beloved York.
What a thriving driving city with history of the UK for all to see. The gardens and parks, especially Rowntree, are just A1.
But all towns and cities have them - vandals. One person who had a flowering almond with blossom buds ready for display in February's gloom saw it cut down - sawn off at branch level.
Whoever is responsible should be put into court by the council, then made to pay for a council-supplied replacement.
Frankly, it must be an adult because Aldwark Mews, occupied by a housing association, doesn't have such children with saws, or so I'm told.
I'll be back next year to see my many friends and especially so because of my happy memories of Betty's.
