Brocklesby Station part 3

Here is the church in Scunthorpe, where P and K got married and where the art gallery 20/21 is.

After a sleep in and a rest we drove into Scunthorpe to check out an interactive art exhibition in the art gallery called 20/21.
Here the kids played with the exhibition it really was fantastic, great when kids are allowed to touch.

We walked into the town centre for lunch and were disappointed with Scunthorpe, it was dirty and scruffy and apart from smoky pubs, there was nowhere to eat. We did walk through the market and I managed to buy some anchovy sauce for Mum. We returned to the cafe at 20/21. Kids then had a second go at the exhibition and I went off to the internet cafe for half an hour.

We decided to go and explore the rest of the area and ended up in Brigg - very pretty little market town that S grew up in. We walked though the main street, which was eerily quiet. Then we realised that England were playing Portugal in the quarter finals and everyone was in the pub. We heard lots of boo's and shouts of disgust, so we assumed that England were not doing well!!!!

We headed back to S and J's and had a wonderful meal with my other mum P - another late, but great night.

The next day we headed off for York. We took the park and ride option, which makes for an easy afternoon. We had lunch at Pizza Hut, as it was the first place we saw, then we realised that there were thousands of great cafe's here. Oh well. We went to the Jorvik Centre after lunch - it was fascinating. We went round on a track, the cars swung us towards the exhibits, left and right. Jorvik is the actual site of a Viking Village, as you go around you are subjected to the sights, sounds and smells of an early village. Not pleasant, but very informative. We then looked at the York Minster and went for a long walk that took in many streets, including the

"Shambles".

We saw an official haunted pub.

We caught the last bus back to the park and ride and drove back to S & J's for our last night.
