It's raining down here today, but nothing like the torrents of Thursday. There are a few people powerwalking and dog walking, and the Abbey Mill cafe looks inviting, with it's woodsmoke and neon sign welcoming you in.We didn't stop for a cup of tea because Frankie was quite muddy, and wanted to get home!

We walked around by the dilpidated Abbey Tavern today- it's such a shame that the building has been left to rot. I bet it is soaking inside.

Abbey House looks great though- the Christmas trees are up, and outside the back, it looks like Narnia!!

The Abbey Fellowship group are holding an event outside the Abbey Mill Cafe next Sunday, and there will be sword-fighting I am told , so that should make for some interesting photos! Look out for them next Sunday.

We walked along the Red River on the other side of the railway lines today, and that ground is truly saturated- the river was even higher today than yesterday.

Doesn't matter what the weather is like, it's still a fantastic place for a walk and a think...!
