The Camera in my pocket..!!

I'll have the one that's looking at me with the big eyes.

 

Well, I went to visit an old Abbey called Abaty glyn y Groes just outside Llangollen, which isn't all that far from me, on another cloudy grey day but it stayed dry at least. I forgot my tripod and flash so took everything in natural light.

The Abbey from afar.


The Main Gate





The Priory where the monks lived and worked.


I believe the Monks used to wash in this trough before dining......it would make a cracking planter.












There was no info on this trough so I've no idea what it was used for ......but another cracking planter.






In this little Cottage in the Abbey grounds was Videos about the history of the Abbey.


And as you walk in, this "Gentleman" [a automaton] is sitting in the front room writing away.








The Hills starting to show Autumn colour


I think I'll go back there when there's snow and mist around to see what it looks like.

 

It did have an air of serenity, Jenny, I must admit. It must have been a hard life though with no real heating and lots of hard work to making a living.

 

I was thinking that, Ziggy, but there were signs of graves outside the Abby and it looked pretty big for a coffin.

 

They'll be gone by the morning now that Ziggy knows!!

 

Well spotted and well taken, Chozo

 

I went for a walk along the lanes in Cheshire this afternoon just as the Sun was disappearing behind the mounting clouds. I was looking for colour but, to be honest, didn't find as much as I had hoped for.



















I was hoping to find some real reds and oranges but I couldn't find any, although I did see some on my way from from Wales last week.
