At last I’m back on the road, managed to find a car that hadn’t got spaceship mileage, been used as a minicab or had multiple owners, can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since I was behind the wheel. Picked the car up on June 1st with some trepidation, could I still drive OK, shouldn’t have worried it was as if it had just been a few days since I last drove.
Golfing
To celebrate I took a drive to Launde Abbey just a short 30 mile round trip, it was so nice to travel through the countryside, all lovely and green with the rain we have had lately. Took a few images while I was there, wasn’t really in a photo mood, too excited about being on the road again.

Launde Abbey is such a calm and peaceful place, I can see why people visit and go on retreat in the cabins they have in the grounds, also it has a really good Tea Room.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the Sequoia in the grounds of the Abbey. It brought back happy memories of when I visited the Giant Redwoods in Northern California.
There were quite a few crosses with numbered plaques around the grounds, must find out what they are !
The Sigma DP1 produces some strange colours when shooting towards the sun, but I like this one.
There are actually lots of Mole hills at the top of the hill !!! I couldn’t decide between the colour or Black & White ?
I can’t resist photographing a good door or gate.
