Emily declared her love for York today, and then she proceeded to count the ways…

“…There are shetland ponies wandering around the hidden tangled fields on the outskirts of town, and little old ladies throw apples for them out of their shopping baskets. The streets have names like Swinegate, and High and Low Petergate, and Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate. There is a store called Joy, hidden somewhere where I haven’t been able to find it yet. There are ancient, lurching bookshops everywhere. Hagrid may pop out of the shadows at any given moment….”

=)  Enjoy every moment, Emily!
