The last few days have been challenging. First we went in to York on Monday and decided to take a cab in. On the cab ride home, I bonked my head GOOD on the dang grip handle that was left propped out and still have a huge knot on my head. Then Tim and I went to Burger King to get dinner for everyone. Came back and I had a bite or scratch from Nettles all down my leg. It stung so badly it caused my leg to tingle for hours and burn, so we went to the local hospital ER to check it out. It felt like my leg had been asleep for about 8 hours with pins and needles king of tingling. The Doctor felt it just hit a nerve so said to take another dose of benadryl and more hydracortisone on the area and I should be good. The next day it was numb. And then finally, I have caught a cold courtesy of no central heating in this house and no hair dryer. I bought a dryer two days ago and started feeling better with more decongestants. Last two days had been really rough. Now David, Mom and Dave are starting to catch the cold too.
Yesterday we went to Ripley to Ripley Castle. It was built in the 1400's and 28 generations of Igilby's have lived there including that current family. They've had to sell of huge amounts of their property and paintings, books, antiques, silver etc to handle death taxes and the upkeep of the house. The town of Ripley is adorable, about a whole quarter mile long worth of shops and houses. We then went to Ripon where the Market was just closing and went into St Stephen and St Wilfred's Cathedral. The church was gorgeous - in fact I thought more so than Selby Abbey.
Today we're off to Leeds market and dinner at Pat Webster's house as our last day in Leeds/York area. Tomorrow we head to Dublin.
