It’s been a fine sunny day, but very cold. There was frost on the garden this morning. I am going to need to fill a hot water bottle to warm my feet up when I go to bed if this continues.
This morning we set off quite early - well, 9.30 ish early - for a day:out in York, visiting Granddaughter Number Two who is studying there.
“This eerily beautiful ruin is set in the heart of York’s verdant museum gardens. St Mary’s Abbey was once the richest in the north of England before the dissolution of the monasteries occurred, an event which resulted in its closure and eventual destruction. The remains of the Abbey and surrounding grassy areas now make for a magnificent picnic spot, and are frequented by locals and visitors alike throughout all the seasons. It is possible to go right up to the ruins with no restrictions, and as the museum gardens are a public park, entry is free.”
Even in ruins the abbey is impressive.
Of course, a fine day makes it look even more so.
Afterwards we went for pizza.
Some of us wanted to stroll through shopping streets but we we were outvoted.
So we took a last look towards the Minster and headed for home.
Lofe goes on. Stay safe and well, everyone!
