A Magical Place

You've probably got sick of me rambling on about Cannon Hall.

Well tough.

We went there this morning and enjoyed yet another stroll followed by a visit to the farm shop they have.

I must record this though. Within the grounds there is a little dell. A pond with a path bordering one side and an old skeleton of a wall with a window in it. The remains of a medieval abbey or similar place. We always find our way there.


A stark silhouette. Yew trees glowering over the skeleton of an ancient wall. I wonder who used to look out of that window.

I imagine ghosts here.










It's a place where I may ask for my ashes to be scattered over.

Then my ghost may linger and gaze out of that window forevermore.
