Do you have a place you think of as your second home? Regular readers will know that I feel that way about the city of York.  I love this statue by the Minster.    That hand - so expressive of power, cinfidence, arrogance even. It makes me wonder about the man and his times and want to know more. Nowhere brings history alive for me quite like this city. I was there for a very special party. More tomorrow....

I have just been rereading the excellent Jonathan Clements history of the Vikings and about York at the end of their time in the British Isles. I don't think I've been to York since I was a teenager but remember enjoying it at the time, so it's definitely on my list for a "proper" visit again!

London was the first home I remember (moved there from US at age 2), so I always like to return there from over the Pond. I was in London in January and thought about taking a daytrip up to York. Haven't been there in ages. Now I wish I had gone. Maybe next time.

I will have mentioned it before, standing at the shore of Loch Maree felt like coming home to a landscape I had known all my life.

Gosh, that hand says it all doesn't it. Whilst I wouldn't want the arrogance or power, I'd love to feel that at ease with life!
