We are getting into a habit of going to grand buildings but with the English weather, it's slightly necessary. I blame the weather on the fact that the government announced we are currently in drought conditions, so it's rained ever since. The abbey was wonderful, and we managed to avoid the hoard of coach tourists. Particularly interesting was the flying duchess and the person who invented afternoon tea becuase she couldn't hold off between lunch and dinner. A wonderful walk around the gardens with ali's off piste map reading, and the best bit was seeing the deer on the way out, hundreds of pere david deer, brought here from china to avoid extinction.
