Alexander & Mummy's Journal
~ York ~

This has got to be one of the best lunches I have ever had. I had a bag of crackling and a roast pork sandwich with gravy. We went to a nice little park to eat, but there were lots of people there. It tasted so good. There were all sorts of things there. Pork, turkey, lamb, beef, crackling and salads. I don't now how they cooked it but it they did it really well. It didn't cost very much either.

This is a fantastic display of armour and weapons. It was on the wall going up some stairs in the Castle Meusem. There are pistols, rifles, axes, swords, pikes, halbardiers, rapiers, a crossbow, a shield and a suit of armour. I think our school should do this on the stair walls.

This is in York Castle Museum. It's a replica of what a candle makers shop would have looked like a long time ago. The Museum had two 'streets' in it. They were models of what a street would ahve looked like there a while ago and the candle makers shop was one of them.

This is what a dinner table of a weathy family would have looked like about one hundred years ago. It is one of the first exebitions in the York Castle Museum. There is also one of a farmers cottage and an old guest room. The were fantastic! The castle itself was actually quite small.

This is a statue of Emp. Constantine, a roman emporer. There were so many statues around york, I couldn't belive it. It was quite hard to get a picture of one of the statues because there were always tourists climbing all over them. It was right outside the Cethedral.

This is a fantastic garden that was right next to the wall. We were walking along the wall when we saw all these magnificent gardens. This one is especially nice because it has a view of the Cethedral in the background.

This is mummy next to the Cethedral. It had beautiful gargoyels on it. It was full of tourists. We came on the night before when the people who were collecting money for taking photographs were gone so it was lucky we came the evening before or we would of had to pay. We didn't go up the tower because there was a huge queue.

This is inside the Cethedral. There was a wall about 6 metres long with all the Kings of Britain on it. With the golden organ up above it was very grand. There was a table near to them with nothing on it and I wondered what it was for. Then I figured out it was for seeing the roof of the building better because there was a mirror on it.

This is one of the 'streets' in the museum I talked about in one of the other pictures It all sorts of shops like a clock maker, candlestick maker, an old convenience store and even a a lighting store. They had a wax man driving a horse and cariage.

This is some carvings on the Cethedral. It's the story of Christ. It has the most detail I have ever seen set in stone it was amazing. All the plant's around the edge have even got the little hairs that leaves have! It must have taken years to make just that little bit of the whole Cethedral.
