I'm always quite nervous about technology so I tend to stick with what I know, I would probably have never used the camera on my phone if my pocket camera hadn't packed up.

I can see that it's not disabled friendly though, there's so many little snickets and as you say, cobbled streets.

I used to love the yarn shop which was there, Ramshambles, but, sadly, the shop now stands empty. I was sad to see on this visit that the Christmas shop, Christmas Angels, has gone now too. I did discover a couple of shops which I haven't been in before though, I think I'll be showing Mick these new shops I've discovered in time for Christmas, they sell some really pretty things.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-48921301524434581742017-07-27T08:02:48.980+01:002017-07-27T08:02:48.980+01:00York's one of my favourite places too.

I think it's a shame that so many people miss out on seeing places like this because they can't afford the addmission price, £40 is a lot for a family to shell out. Yes, Duttons for Buttons is still there, I had a little looksie on Friday but I didn't buy anything.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-1687236795553967622017-07-27T07:14:41.619+01:002017-07-27T07:14:41.619+01:00Mmmm Bettys!

And those treats look incredible - yum!<br /><br />I was all about having a small, digital camera until I got my 1st smartphone - all of a sudden, I started using the camera less and less. Eventually it was relegated to a drawer and didn't see the light of day until it was sent to the e-waste centre. I love the convenience of the phone as you always have it with you and I do find that those spur of the moment photos are truly the best kind. These days, cameras on phones are so good, I think most people would be hard pressed to tell the difference.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
