HOUSES in York cost a king's ransom. We have barely finished one war, and the United States is looking to start the next. Hot spring weather usually means a lousy summer.

With our continental caf culture, our Easter flower displays and now this festival, York will soon be known as the city of caffs, daffs and laughs.
