So Crucis Abbey is to Wales what Fountains Abbey is to England. The simple life … but not too simple please. A lovely post, dating from before the time I followed you, so I’m glad you gave it another airing.
awww I am so glad you got to see it, and yes a rather splendid place although the grounds don’t seem to be as extensive as your fabulous Fountains Abbey
Well, Valle Crucis in its ruined state is nothing like as extensive as Fountains…..I was looking for an image but I haven’t posted anything…need to rectify that
I enjoyed re-reading this post, and my comment about not taking enough photos. Nothing’s changed! 🙂 We are yet to visit Wales and it’s definitely on our to do list…one day.
So glad you enjoyed re-reading it too, and guess it’s positive we both get carried away enjoying our surroundings in person rather than through a lens all the time 🙂
I would love to join you!

Do we ever take enough photos and our memory always thinks we take more of those “perfect” shots than we do. Wales is a beautiful area to explore.
