River Ooze...

The first of three days in York. It was Bank Holiday Monday, of course, so it was horribly busy and the misery was compounded because, on the sunniest day of the year so far, we couldn't get a drink outside because all the pubs were full of people who only ever drink once a year. Instead, Finn sat on the banks of the River Ouse and waved at people that passed him on their river cruises, pausing just the once to turn around and pose for this nice photograph. We found out later that Paul the giraffe had managed to earn £178 busking on Whipmawhopmagate. His act is simple - he plays a motionless giraffe.
