Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden 2 ( Raider’s of the lost Abbey )

Just thought I’d share this shot of Val, also taken at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden, we had just spent a few moments speaking to a gentleman who was drawing inside the abbey ruins, he had told us he ran a drawing/painting class in Harrogate and they were there on a days drawing expedition, something they had done three times in Venice amongst other destinations. Lovely bloke, great artist, made you realise how much there is to life when you find a hobby/talent that you can take anywhere.

Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden


We managed to get away last week for a few days, our destination this time around was Yorkshire. The shots above are of Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden . This place was fabulous and struck me as a great place to host weddings, only to discover later that day that they were advertising just that in the ladies toilets.
( not that I saw the ad myself you understand ! )
