Actually took the bus to town this time so I could walk out to an area I haven’t visited for years, Leicester’s Abbey Park.

Well it looked bat like to me.

Abbey of St Mary of the Meadows

According to the information board the Abbey was founded in about 1143 and closed in 1538 by Henry v111 (who else !) so it lasted for nearly 400 years.

I also took along a film camera with me, hopefully should have processed the film by tomorrow (Sunday).

        I haven’t been to Leeds for ages, I still have some relatives there. The first thing I remember about Leeds was visiting my Gran and the wonderful Yorkshire puddings she made, even the budgie had some ! :>)
