Going for a walk

We had a lovely walk yesterday, we went to Kirkstall Abbey. For those who do not know it, Kirkstall Abbey is a remarkably complete Cistercian Abbey about ten minutes drive from the centre of Leeds. It is surrounded by houses, not all of which are considered 'good areas' but it is a lovely place to visit.

Dear heart, darling father, little bear and I kicked a football round the church part of the Abbey, wandered around the outside of some ruins, walked along the banks of the River Aire and generally had a marvellous time. It was so peaceful. We saw some ducks, which little bear repeatedly counted, and some pretty flowers, and a dragon fly, and lots of nice doggies.

When we got back to the car park (free!) we had ice creams and little bear ate his Mr Whippy all the way down the the bottom of the cone - apart from all the ice cream that dripped of course.
