Hey up folks.
As ever, sorry not to have posted in a while - but I've been busy. I know, I know, I always say that. But it's true. Honest.
So, here are four pics of Robin from the past couple of week - three in York, where my dad lives, and one in Cologne in Germany (see below for the rest, obviously).
This first picture was taken of Robin last Saturday night in front of York Minster, which has been on the site since the year 627AD when a wooden structure built was hurriedly built to provide a place to baptise Edwin, King of Northumbria. Edwin wouldn't have lived to see it blossom into the structure you can see today. Well, not unless he lived to be 802, which seems unlikely (let's face it, the health care back then wasn't anything like as good as it is today. Chances are Edwin didn't make it much past, um, 500).

PS - How's your foot doing?
Good to see Robin hanging out in a top Northern town and home of the might Minstermen! R x
