Haunted by silence
Through planned, positioned trees,
Fountains Abbey ~ Gill Renard
round the next bend,
we stumbled upon the ruins,
still and lifeless, shrouded in mist….
On, past the frugal remains of a kitchen
and a refectory carpeted in grass,
a chapel, roofless
and still haunted by silence.
Another misty Autumn evening walk and Roche Abbey becomes even more atmospheric

I have three packets of tulips waiting to go onto containers, but another wet day today! At this rate I will have to plant them in the rain! And I am a fair weather gardener.

so am I more or less but have a ‘pottering shed’ which gives shelter for these winter jobs!

My pottering shed is damp and full of spiders, but it might be my only option 🕷️🕷️🕷️

Undoubtedly here. And mice. I keep thinking about getting a new shed or a small greenhouse. I have a conservatory, but I don’t really want to traipse compost all over it.

Someone else already wrote this in a comment but my first thought was “very atmospheric.” I like the idea of a refectory carpeted in grass.
