If I told you it wouldn’t be a secret !(;
Favourite things about living here:
How beautiful the city is, especially in autumn and winter. Everything is so small, quaint and old-fashioned, and I love how all the streets sort of twist and interlace together. There’s so much to explore in York.

Fierce lion. GRRRRR!
