What a pile!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a short delivery shift, around lunch time, I stopped to read a bit in the environs of, and generally admire, Crowland, or \u2018Croyland\u2019 Abbey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect spot to read a bit more of this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Really enjoying this latest book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the decorative border here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Terrific!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
What a view!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I came out, into a beautiful sunny day, and sat under a tree, with this terrific view. And there I finished the chapter on St Paul\u2019s, and the fires of 1666 and The Blitz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What an atmospheric place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m growing to love and appreciate graveyards better, as I visit more and more churches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accidental grass photo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I took the above shot by accident, as I was putting my iPhone down. I went to delete it, and then thought\u2026 no, that\u2019s actually rather lovely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a great spot!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
