Friends Fest

Yesterday evening I went to Harewood House for an event called Friends Fest, based on the hit television series 'Friends'.

We were all so excited to go in!
Once in, we saw Phoebe's grans taxi...

We went to 'Central Perk' and chilled out on the sofa...

We then went to 'Monica's Moondance Diner' for food...

I had a hotdog! The waiter and waitress were completely in character and gave you incredibly bad service and offered 'sprits' by spraying water in your face!

After, we each bought a hot chocolate (with cream and a flake of course!) from a very glowy coffee stall!

We had great views of the big screen from where we were sat.

Which included a giant 'OH.MY.GOD' (Janice) quote at the front!

Soon it was our turn to go into Monica's apartment! When it was our turn, we were able to have a chance to pose in the opening credits!

Monica's apartment was amazing! It had everything!

It was a shame to leave but on the other side were Joey and Chandler's apartment and everything that made it!

But that wasn't all! There was also the (silent) New Years disco where Ross and Monica showed off their dance skills to get on telly!

Lastly, we each got "married" in the style of Ross and Rachel's wedding in Las Vagas!

It was a shame to leave, but we were all very glad we went!

Afternoon tea on the river

Earlier today, I went on a 2 hour boat cruise through York. York Boat do all sort of cruises, but the cruise I went on with my friend was the Afternoon Tea Cruise.
Whilst I waited for my friend to arrive, I went up onto York's Wall. There were some good views of the Minster from there.

Once my friend arrived, we had a brief wander around town then went straight to King's Staith Landing. It was great fun being on a boat, especially when food is involved!

The food looked so yummy!
Soon, we were on the move.

The sandwiches were moreish and the puddings were delicious!
And the scone... well, it was tiny in comparison to the Holy Island scone!

There is so much of York you don't notice from the footpaths and roads. But from the river, you see every hidden bit of history!

After our afternoon tea, we bought some lemonade and went up onto the top deck to enjoy the sunshine and the views.

Past the Millennium bridge was the Arch Bishop's Palace.
It was spectacular!

On the way back to the city, after spotting an abundance of wildlife, the captain pointed out a very special boat. A gentleman had converted an ice cream van into a boat, and it still served ice creams!

What a pleasant, hot sunny day for a delightful trip on the river!
