Off to the moors!

After Ringtons had been we set off out as it is Tina’s day off. I had thought we were going to a garden centre near York but we ended up at Rosedale Abbey, a village in the Yorkshire moors as Tina had changed her mind. It had been a wet and reasonably long journey and we were ready for a drink and some lunch. There were sandwiches on the menu but you could have them as a salad if you didn’t want the bread. Absolutely lovely Mel’s arrived, mine had so much cheese!

Brace yourselves for a lot of photos tonight! I was fascinated as we drove there and when we arrived at the mossy walls. After eating we had a wander round the village.

The church was built on the site of the abbey, there is just a pillar of the original abbey remaining.

We rally liked this unusual commemoration of the Queens jubilee.

Tina had found that there was a place called Bank Top Kilns not far away so owe set off, the car managed the 1 in 3 gradient really well. We drove to a higher car park first.

Then to the Bank Top.

I am sad this one is out of focus, but still like it!

We got really cold up there so Tina drove to another village where we had a cuppa and a scone before heading home.

Well, we actually headed home via a nursery where we bought some plants, but have only taken a pic of the willow which is in the greenhouse for now.

A nice sky this evening but ai couldn’t be bothered to go out to take pics. Took this one from the utility room window, feeling a bit weary so getting sorted for as early departure for an assessment appointment at the hospital.
