Fountains Abbey & Studley Water Garden

Took the day off for my 60th and took at 70mile trip up to Yorkshire to Fountains Abbey near Ripon. It’s managed by National Trust.

The weather held off until just as we were walking back to the visitors centre. Sat in the car eating out lunch, it began to throw it down so we abandoned the second part of the planned day.

Home now for a cup of tea and a slice of cake - it’s still raining.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Looks like a lovely place to spend your birthday. I am sure you had a lovely day even if it did rain.

My grandad always took the day off work on his birthday.

Oh memories - we did a lot of our courting here and have returned many times in recent years. Lovely shot. Belated happy birthday! You're the same age as my darling hubby now. Still terribly young, of course!
