Jorvik or York

I didn't realise until today that York was a thriving Viking community for over a decade, and was given the name Jorvik. It seems they did better during this time than under the Saxon's. Trade was good and properties were being improved.

York today seems to be doing good trade. My favorite purchase of the day has to be the 'scratch & sniff' postcard we bought from the Jovik Center. It has distinct sniffs, one of sweet food and the other is of a latrine. I hope the recipient enjoys the toilet humour..har har..
