Dale Abbey - The Village
w/e 24 February
2002

Early crocuses in Dale Village.
|

The Manor House and Abbey Cottage.
|

It was too muddy to get much closer to
the ruins of Dale Abbey so I shall have to return at a later
date.
|

Despite the sunshine there was a cold wind
blowing but this horse was wrapped up well to protect against
the cold temperatures. The thermometer was showing 4C but the
biting northerly wind made it feel much colder. The horse was
a little reticent about being photographed and tried to hide
behind the gate post.....
|

.... until food in the form of hay hanging
from the tree proved too big a temptation.
|

Food (and drink) for human consumption
is also available at the nearby village pub - the ivy covered
Carpenters Arms.
