This collage shows one of my favourite Snooks, and actually this is the first Snook on the trail if you are following them in order. I didn't, and this was one of the last that I saw. The map of the route of the Snook trail is available just a few yards away, from the Visit York Information Centre.
This Snook is illustrated with all things book related. The book the Snook is holding has a list of interesting features to find on different Snooks.
I find the illustration bottom right, with a Snook holding a book titled 'Best Bus Routes in York' quite entertaining. Many visitors use one of the Park and Ride buses to get into the city centre from one of the edge of town car parks, but despite the best efforts of the council and the bus companies, it is proving difficult to encourage locals from their cars onto buses, with the result that routes into and out of the city centre are often congested with traffic. Sadly this makes the city environment much worse than it needs to be.
Books are a real weakness for both Katharine and I, and our collection continues to grow. Hopefully, one day we will manage to read them all!
Nice decorations. They make the city look happier. Same traffic problems here. Everyone wants to be stopped right in front of his/her house but nobody wants the bus stop in front of his/her house and traffic congestion all over the islands.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
For those of us who love books, there seems to be a 'scientific' law that says that we always have at least 10% more books than we have shelf space for them. That continues to apply however many new bookshelves we buy!
Love the book theme. I used to work in a children's book store. I ordered theme books for teacher's, decorated the window every month and helped with author and illustrator book signings. My son had a huge children's book library and was an early reader. Fav.
Thank you - this was one of my favourite Snooks. Both our daughters were early readers. To encourage them they used to have a magic book, written a page at a time by Katharine and I, and when they had read the latest page, a new page would appear the following day, by magic!
@fishers A fabulous idea and exciting for your daughters. I always give my grand boys a book for their birthday and Christmas. Plus, they inherited a lot of my son's children book collection too!
