Forde Abbey

Visited Forde Abbey early afternoon. It's only a few miles from home and because I belong to Historic Houses it's free entry for me. 
The gardens are beautiful and look different every time I visit, which is quite often. 
I sat outside the café there for a coffee, and a lady came over to say hello. I hadn't seen her for about 3 or 4 years (she belongs to the Nordic Walking group I used to walk with but I haven't been able to go since C's diagnosis) so we had a good catch up and agreed to meet up for a coffee soon.
