2010 Review - Pubs and Abbeys

I think I should take up geology as I seem to be getting rather interested in rocks. For their variety, colour and texture but also of course for their impact on the landscape and the subsequent character they impart to man's craft in the built environment. Contrasting with the sharp horizontals of the stonework in Cumbria, on the other side of the M6 the limestone of Malham has a soft, round Yorkshire Pud type quality.

Further south to Bolton Abbey and a relaxing English summer afternoon under a tree by the river and tea and scones in the cafe with the hot pink geraniums, before we tackle the madness that is Manchester commuter traffic. Another world.
