I've been to Yorkshire but never to Fountains Abbey or surrounding area.

I loved the photos that you took ...Fountains Abbey! I loved the photos that you took there. You just KNOW that I looked at all of them. (And then some!)<br />I never tire of seeing old stone steps worn away by many feet over the centuries.<br />Isn't it exciting to think of walking in the footsteps of Lewis Carroll? Did you see a Cheshire Cat grinning from a tree? I can just see you imagining that! I loved the book by Jenny Woolf about Lewis Carroll and I loved that he spent a lot of time in Eastbourne too!<br />And you know most people would love that big piece of cake, but I am more excited over the thought of English cheese! :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-50821765525667513922012-05-20T17:53:13.946+02:002012-05-20T17:53:13.946+02:00That Hall where L.C. lived is so stately.

The grounds are stunning at Fountains Abbey, I love the shot you took of the arches and the steps too. Really beautiful photos.<br />xx<br />julieJulie Whitmore Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283540996942265818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-42691333547145521012012-05-20T15:59:56.092+02:002012-05-20T15:59:56.092+02:00Note to self: Must go back!Note to self: Must go back!Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-20419580097168412782012-05-20T13:21:43.583+02:002012-05-20T13:21:43.583+02:00What a lovely day!
