Tennis and 'Ye Ha'

After tennis training on Monday afternoon, Will went to matches on Tuesday afternoon at St Olaves in York. John and I took the opportunity to do some more sightseeing in York before watching the games. There was a 'birds of prey' exhibit in the York Botanic Gardens. The gardens are spectacular with sandstone ruins mixed with the garden beds and a tudor building on top of a roman base. Will played well in his doubles match and they scraped through for a win. He was outplayed in the singles but held out well with some long rallies and was pleased with his game, given that he was in the under 12s.

On Wednesday, we continued our walk towards the coast and found a good trail out of Sherburn that combines the Wolds Way and Centenial Way. The day ended up rainy but Will managed to fit in his school excursion to Howsham Mill. The following day, the weather cleared a little and we visited Beningbrough Hall. The Hall is 300 years old this year and was refurbished to display some works from the National Portraits Gallery. We then called in at Monks Cross shopping centre. We have found a reasonable travel agent and are going to them for advice on a few parts of our Europe trip. We booked the Norway cruise through them which helped to get a better price on a similar family cabin to the higher priced tickets. We are hoping that they can line up a package with ferries and accommodation for a week in Croatia, as we will be there in peak time. The remainder, we have been booking ourselves online.

The school play (for years 3,4 and 5) was on Thursday night and Will did a great job as one of the townsfolk in a Cowboys and Indians production called 'Ye Ha'. He then filled in on another part on the Friday afternoon, for the second performance.

  1. It is easy to deduce that the black and blue version rolex replica sale was a halfway mark to the red and blue model, but I think it is really just another flavor. When the blue and replica watches uk black GMT came out, Rolex clearly knew that it had a blue and red model in the works. For them, it was an ability to come out first with the world' first two-tone ceramic bezel, and then a year later to follow up with the world's first red and rolex replica sale blue ceramic bezel. In fact, it is also the first time anyone has produced commercially available red ceramic in a watch. Hublot technically released the first watch with red ceramic with the Classic Fusion Skeleton Tourbillon for OnlyWatch 2013, but it was a one-off piece and rolex replica sale the material was never put into any commercially available product. So Rolex does have them beat in that regard. Nevertheless, even if Hublot (or another brand) sold red ceramic, none of them would come even close to Rolex's sophistication when it comes to replica watches producing ceramic parts–which is a mixture of art and science as it is a delicate process.
