# What an amazing couple of days! It was our 31st wedding anniversary on Wednesday (15th) so we went out for a nice meal. My wife booked a night away on Thursday — we stayed in Pontefract — so didn't have to waste time travelling yesterday, my birthday. We went to Pontefract Castle and did some exploring before checking in. Yesterday we headed for York and had a great time at the Minster. I love the architecture and history, and York Minster has a lot of both to explore. We were having such a good time that it felt like we'd been away for ages, not just one night.
