It was a lot colder on the windswept hills in north Yorkshire than I had imagined. But the boys were undaunted, having their first lesson in hurling from Liam on the playing fields at Ampleforth. (Shhhhhh...don't tell! I think the boys got a little carried away with their hurling sticks: the evidence was all over the field.)
Meanwhile, Patricia took Lewis, Anna, Lucy and me for a look at the church. Lovely--and out of the wind, which was a definite selling point! Anna enjoyed looking for the little mice that are part of the decor, on some of the chairs and benches.
We had a lovely time, anyway, though the inside bits of the day (lunch at the pub--yummy fish & chips for me, the abbey church at Ampleforth, and tea at Liam & Patricia's) were far more enjoyable than the outdoor bits.
