As today is a migraine day, I shall have my own photography day.
This is Lillie's birthday cake, constructed with lots of chocolate and Maltesers. She is a better cook now!
This is Byland Abbey of the Cistercian order. Hidden in the country and difficult to find. We asked a village postman and he gave directions and then raced off after us in the post van because he thought we might go to the old Byland Abbey - sweet. Chosen because of the blue sky, it was incredibly hot and the Rose window.
Probably a favourite flower the foxglove. I always wanted a pale yellow one, but I think this is a verdant plant ready to turn pink.

An abundant crab apple tree and below, the bank where the rabbits lived. The badger lived at the beginning of the bank, (badgers eat rabbit) and the fox hole was over by the river. Predators had the perfect pantry! |
Some happy memories there I am sure. I didn't realize that badgers ate rabbits, so yes, a nearby larder for badger and fox.
ReplyDeleteI hope your migraine abates soon.
ReplyDeletePoor rabbits needed to find another home. Our Jack Russells used to go underground but never got lost, though they always came out uniformly brown.
