Book Tour Part 5: Shieldwall storms York

I grew up in York, and know the alleys and snickleways like the back of my hand so it was a joy to be back and avoiding the inevitable crowds.

The beer and black pudding were as good as any I remember, and my hotel had a particularly good full Yorkshire breakfast.

There was a book signing at Waterstones: thanks to everyone who turned up, especially Michelle of Scarborough!



And then a day out and about, at Benningborough Hall, where I had forgotten how tall trees in England are.

And what an oak tree looks like after it's been hit by lightning.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the pleasant surprise package in the post which brought me here. 20 years ago I worked for the National Trust and managed the parkland and trees at Beningbrough Hall. Nice 18th c landscape park built on the site of a medieval deer park and including many ancient pollard oaks which predate the house.
