While snow melts from the rooves….

it still accumulates.

And on the lawn infront of the Hall of Pure Offerings….

the benches are full. (this photo by Maria & published with pride).
These photographs were taken a few days ago and kindly sent to me via email. Here in Kirkby Stephen it has warmed up considerably, and thankfully. The task I am here for is almost completed. On Wednesday I’ll be able to see first hand how things are at the monastery. Apparently the gutters are suffering under the weight of the icicles.
