A DAY OUT TO FOUNTAINS ABBEY, NEAR RIPON 24-Oct.

lovely blog JB and nice pics to, will have to go there some day,i take it the two young people belong to you and you didnt just snap at someone lol ;o))

Hi San, Hope you are well. The two kids are, our son, Alan & girlfriend, Caroline. We often go to Fountains & took them along this time.

im good thanx Jb,lovely when the kids still enjoy going out with you, think we may put this on the list for next summer, hope your well to ;o))

This looks a very picturesque place which we have not visited as yet...thank you for posting such lovely photos to whet or appetite. Lucky for you that you live near enough to visit often.

It's good to take advantage of the dry days just now before the days turn colder, wetter....and you chose a lovely sunny day! :)

Whistonlass, As you say, Ripon is not too far from York. Near enough to make 'Fountains' an easy day out, 3 or 4 times in a year.
Like many National Trust sites it is always worth a visit. The restaurant is very good by the way!
Sanbaz, I hope you get the chance to make the trip some day.

Beautiful place!
Beautiful views!
