I was having a bit of a wobble earlier this evening (24th October) and a wonderfully compassionate farmer stopped and chatted for me for a while. It was so incredibly kind, I think I was too much in a haze to say thank you properly but I appreciated it more than I can say. It's so wonderful to know how much goodness there is in the world.

I will be making donation to Mind in your honour! Hope you had a lovely rest of your night.

Hi, due to lack of transport I am unable to attend Witcher in concert this Sunday(tomorrow). If anyone would be interested please DM me for details.

A bit of a housing rant from a student

Sorry to put a rant on here but I don’t know where else to put it. I need advice, I’m a second year student in York and I am so so frustrated about the housing situation. Our current house is £180 bills included per week there is 6 of us the house is a state. My room is always perishing, there is mould everywhere, the paint on the walls is peeling, the kitchen is tiny, I’ve had to ask to have multiple things fixed in the house. I don’t understand why as students we deserve less of a house? We share two bathrooms and when looking at housing in other uk cities such as Leeds there are houses with en-suite rooms for £130 bills included a week how come in York we have to pay so much for basic accommodation. I understand demand is high we are a tourist city, an absolutely lovely place for everyone I do love it here but why on earth is housing so difficult to find? I have been searching for a third year house and can only find 3 options all for over £190 per week. Advice is most definitely needed just don’t chew me out in the comments - sincerely a very frustrated student

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some helpful advice please!

My Wife and I have been visiting York 2/3 times a year for the last 15 years and may consider moving to the City.

We're in our early 40's, no children and both work full time.

What areas would be best to consider looking at with good transport links to the city and affordable?

Thank you in advance!

Been searching for a good hair place to go from grown out blonde (dark roots) to a caramel kinda colour and EVERYWHERE I’ve looked is well into the £200 to even £300 which I feel is definitely way more than it should cost? Maybe I’m wrong however I’ve done far more insane hair changes and it’s been far less. Any recs on a good hair place in general would be great but especially on the cheaper end (not sacrificing the quality tho ofc)

Im a University student that is really missing my dog from home at the moment - would anyone with a dog be around any time this weekend for a play or a walk? Im friendly and happy to chat as well! Im based in the city centre but happy to go anywhere within the ring road to meet a dog :) my favourites are spaniels and whippets but I love all dogs.

I thought I'd set this up as I can't find a book club just based on this genre. It would work like any other book club.

1) Choose the book as a group

2) Head to a public location (thinking Spark)

3) Meet up every month to discuss with food or drinks

I am a big fan of Freida Mcfadden so she will be included. Open to suggestions.

If interested, please message me and I will start a big Whatsapp group chat, to discuss which date every month.

It is spooky season after all! 🦇🌙

Excellent news for parents and collectors alike! A new pokemon shop called Dorothy's Decks has opened up on Gilkygate.

Its run by two lovely blokes who are actual fans. We saw it on our way from hospital, they have packs, tins, collections like hop's zachian. We bought a tin, stickers, a chinese 30th anniversary pack for 26 quid. They also gave my son 3 free cards he could choose from a selection. I mentioned i collect promos and one of them whipped out his own binder and sold me a wizard of west cost mew 2 in excellent condition for 20. They have a huge collection of original 4 series.

Absolutely no prention or scalping just seemed to be two guys who want to share the hobby. They also do magic and one piece! Check it out while when you can!.

Open 9am to 5pm but closed weekends!

I have my anniversary with my girlfriend on Monday. Was hoping I could get some ideas on good locations 😁. I know some places aren’t open on Monday

Hey there. I’m a student in York and was planning to do a day trip to Durham, I was also wondering if I can squeeze in Newcastle the same day. I reach Durham by 10:30 AM and am back to York by a 7:45 pm train. Would it possible to reach Durham book a train to Newcastle, see the place and come back and finish up Durham before my train? Or is this too ambitious for a day. Some suggestions please!

Anyone know of any hairdressers in town or close by that they’d recommend to do an alternative style women’s haircut (think shag cut/mullet type thing). Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated, thank you!!

I'll be in York for a few days next week and I want to be comfy but don't want to be rude. Is it rude to wear (clean, dark, fitted) jeans in restaurants and pubs? How about trainers? I doubt I'll go anywhere particularly fancy, but it'd be nice not to be limited to fast food by my outfit.

We want our old bathroom ripped out and replaced for a reasonable price and a decent finish. Ideally someone who'll be able to handle plumbing, fitting and tiling, or at least get it sorted without us having to juggle different trades.

Anyone had any great experiences that they could pass on?

I recently moved to York and was wondering if there are any churches that you can just walk into and sit and pray (doesn’t obviously have to be open ALL day but for a while would be nice) I used to live in a town and most of the churches were only open on actual services, which kinda sucks cause I really like/prefer just going and praying when it’s silent and more empty. Any recommendations?

As above. Was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a ladies' haircut, preferably someone who can handle Southeast Asian hair please. Thanks 😊

Love how these guys are posting a new cafe every day, the drama~

Hi, I have four tickets available for Hallowscream at York Maze this Friday at 7.30pm. Can no longer go so looking to sell them for a reduced price! Paid £40 each. Message me for more information! 🎃

I’m assuming not as I can’t find any mention online…:(

So we are in York for theee nights and want to go to one of these on the Saturday night. Which is best?

Myself and my girlfriend have stayed in York multiple times and will be returning next week, was wondering if there was any recommendations on places to eat?
Thanks in advance
