This past weekend, we travelled up to York to see a Blackbeard’s Tea Party gig and do a really fun escape room. Rather than book into any mundane, boring type of accommodation, we stayed on a boat!
It had a permanent mooring, so didn’t actually go anywhere, but I enjoyed pretending to be captain anyway:
It was so much bigger and wider than the narrowboats we were used, we generally forgot we were even afloat:
My humans argued a bit over how much bigger than our flat the boat was, but it’s safe to say it was bigger:
It had a lighthouse motif that was repeated throughout the boat in various guises, and one of them was looked after by these friendly gulls:
In between our schedule activities, we took a wander round The Shambles, and stopped off for some refreshment at Hebden Tea:
We saw someone making fudge through a shop window and had to stop and purchase some – it was yummy:
We came across this fine, furry fellow, who was happy to pose for a photo:
This gentleman was less enthused:
But the sparkly hedgehogs of the yarn shop were very gracious hosts:
Board games were also purchased and played, so it was an awesome combination of many activities the humans really enjoy – and a good time was had by all!
