Sunday crew checking in

 It’s time to display the continued hard work from the Sunday crew .

I am up early this morning waiting on  the strains of “Grandad! Grandad ! “ as we have my best bud over for the weekend . So it’s a gentle early coffee while I process this weeks entries, before I am hit with the whirlwind . 

 

Yesterday my bud and I went to the ruins of the 900 year old Augustine Priory near us looking for and talking about history.  The remains  of the east window are still impressive nearly 500 years after Henry VIII and his  dissolution.

 Gisborough Priory from 1119 . It became  one of the richest monastic foundations in England. It had grants from the crown and bequests from the de Brus of Scotland - yes those Bruce’s . 

 The remains of the East window stands high over the town and can be seen from all around it . It’s rumoured the “Black Monk” can be seen crossing the site at certain times of the year , though that may be when alcohol has been taken .

Stone from the ruins lies all around - we had some in the garden 30 years ago.

We then got to revel in France having its derrière handed to it by Scotland in the 6 nations rugby . My voice may be a bit hoarse this morning after a 50-40 point game 😆

Scotland 50 , France 40 😎

 

Anyway that’s enough of my rambling - well apart from I have more Bolsheviks up my sleeves with luck this week .

Mike has a bag of mixes

Adam is Horsey

Paul has something not brown , but grey 

Lee has his winter finished
