A new found walk at Fountains Abbey..

Very spectacular pictures ! You must have enjoyed being there .

Thank you Kidsgran,we never tire of this place,and only about 90 minutes from home...even better :o)

Great blog Bloomer lovely pictures how nice that the weather was kind for you too, How funny the lady with the scone poor chap...what the eye doesn't see :o)

Very nice Sandra. Beautiful views. My daughter used to work in the Restaurant there when her husband was stationed nearby.

Thanks Neellan,it's been nice every time we have been..although we do tend to wait and see the forecast before we book to stay over nearby,for a few days..Oh,it was funny about the scone..and she kept such a straight face...I didn't ! Lol.

Thank you,Cinders..what a lovely place for your daughter to work..It really is good there,and we always time it for lunch:o)..glad you enjoyed the walk ...

Lovely blog, Bloomer. It's a beautiful place. I really like that modern "chandelier" in the room with the stone and the fire-place...and the moon ponds...glad I don't have to cut the grass, tho... :)

Thanks Karen..so did I..but glad I don't have to make a fire up in it,or try and dust that Chandelier....or cut the grass either !Lol..We stay halfway between this place and Harrogate,so very handy to keep going back..no doubt we will go back many times,hopefully...just sent you a PM .:o) x

You live in a lovely part of the world, Bloomer. We always used to make the most of our visits to Harrogate, by extending our stay and getting out and about a bit...ah, I'm getting all nostalgic now...

Pm read and replied! :) x

We are lucky to live near the Dales,Karen..some lovely places to visit....read your PM,and thanks,will reply later..meeting up with Carole(P.potter) and OH for lunch..need to get smartened up ! Lol..xx

Just lovely B. Those photos around the lake are so green and lush, a really nice place to relax and enjoy. Had to laugh about the lady & the scone!! I would have done the same Lol. Glad you had a nice day out. :) x

Thanks G.mage..glad you enjoyed the walk with us..I hope that guy didn't catch bird flu ! Lol..I kept thinking about it ,and sniggering :o)

Lol B. trust you :))

Thoroughly enjoyed your blog on Fountains Abbey [do wish you would stop going without us, maybe a short break next year! meantime if we do eventually get to visit I bags dressing up in those fanstastic period costumes, always fancied myself as Lady of the Manor lol
P,S thanks for today , enjoyed your company and lunch as usual ;0)

Fountains Abbey is a lovely place. We used to go when the children were small and always enjoyed the Walk of the Seven Bridges. It's such a tranquil place and must have been stunning back in the day. Glad you enjoyed your day there.

I would have laughed too Bloomer ;o)

Thanks Carole,maybe we will get there sometime..but only if you promise not to dress up ! I know you,you would want to walk round the grounds in them ..or worse still,I have visions of Harry in costume! lol..We enjoyed our lunch too..and your company of course :o)

Thank you T.bear..it was lovely as usual, it is a place you always want to revisit..nice that you have fond memories of it too :o)

Lol.Neellan..still having the odd chuckle :o)

Super Blog Sandra and lovely pictures. It looks as if the weather was especially kind to you. It's years since we last visited Fountains, but your blog has spurred me into thinking about going again, soon. Love the anecdote about the bird with the scone, made me laugh out loud :)

Thanks Waddy,we decided to go as the weather forecast was favourable..not much fun walking round there in the rain ! Lol....I'm sure you would enjoy another visit .Everytime I see one of the Jackdaws on a feeder in the garden,it reminds me again ! :o))

I love places like this, and I enjoyed the photos.
I'm pleased you found the orchid. Wild orchids are wonderful I think ...

A magical place Bloomer both inside and out.

That crescent shaped pond is so beautiful and the ruins look so majestic. A place you could never tire of and a place of peace I am sure.

Thanks Hywel,so do we..and very grateful to the guide who told us where to find the Orchids..It's the first time I have ever seen them..so pretty :o)

Thank you Chris..you would love it there.just what we needed,so peaceful..:o).

Super pics, Sandra..
thanks for the interesting tour ...
looks a lovely part of the world :o)

Thanks Terra..just a different slant on previous blogs..it is a special part of Yorkshire:o) x

That took me back to our Yorkshire holiday about 5 years ago! Nice to see Fountains Hall has some furniture now. It was very bare during our visit. Thanks Bloomer. Lucky you its close enough to visit regularly.

Lovely blog Sandra(catching up time been on holiday)...think it was a bit mean of you not to dress up, I'm sure you would have looked a proper"Lady of the Manor" Lol :-)

Ah,nice memories for you Tet..I didn't know it hadn't always been furnished..looks as though it has always been there..and yes,we are lucky to be quite near to this lovely NT place..:o)

Lol,Val..more like a right divi,i think ! I'm bad enough in ordinary outfits:o)..Hope you had a nice holiday,where did you go ?

What a wonderful blog Bloomer, did make me smile with the scone though :-))

Thanks S.lad..you would love it there..and you have set me off grinning again ! Lol
