26.2.08 - Low Barlings. I was out of town this morning and took a detour to visit this ruined 12th century abbey. This bit of wall, and a few hummocks in the ground, are all that remains of a building that once dominated the surrounding flatlands. It looks beautiful and sunny in the photo, but there was a bitter wind blowing. What we call a "lazy wind". It can't be bothered to go round you, so it goes straight through you!
