Last minute 'bits' bought, sausage bun in Mike's 'Last Resort' eaten by Frankie, and we headed off to see what was going on at the Abbey. Christmas Eve is the anniversary of when we met, and it's 30 YEARS AGO this time!

Frankie thought this photo might herald the end of the world, even though it was taken at 12.45pm on a normal Monday afternoon. It did look creepy though!

We were thinking about crossing the railway lines today, when we heard the train, so we waited, and you can see it in the left- hand side of the first photo, then fully in the second photo. We waited a bit longer and this Blue Tit came back to feed on the bird table at the cottage.

You can see how much the water has receded from the down-pours of last week, and there are now lots of muddy areas left on the usually lovely lawns inside the Abbey.

The soggy weather is good for fungi and water droplet shots if nothing else!

In true Abbey tradition, we are having our Christmas lunch at......... Abbey House tomorrow, so a very merry Christmas to you all, and we hope you have a wonderful time!!
