Summertime Feeling
Don’t panic – it didn’t rain on St. Swithun’s Day. So we can all look forward to solid blocks of sunshine and absolutely no rain here in York for the next 40 days and 40 nights. If the legend is anything to go by anyway. If it’s chucking it down as you read this then our apologies – it seems the lovely Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, got it wrong this year. But hey, you’re in York! Which means that whether it’s raining cats and dogs or the sun’s got its hat on, you’ll have more than enough things to do. Maybe you’ll fancy soaking up the atmosphere and catching a show at the Great Yorkshire Fringe, or perhaps you’ll engross yourself in the immersive world of Van Gogh at St Mary’s – whatever it is, we’ll see you there! Until next time,
