Serendipity....(and the great Ker-Plunk! pull off)... 10th August

Serenedipity... possibly my favourite word, not only because of its meaning, but it also sounds lovely. We programmed our next destination into the sat nav and headed off, not far, just a quick trip for a look round a free park....

...I took the 3rd exit as directed... yes.. it is the 3rd... yes.. it told me to take the third... I know it doesnt look like the right way... yes, i know we always gone the other way at this round about... but it said take the 3rd exit...yes.. it is the coalville rd... yes.. we do seem to be heading in the wrong direction... park.. reprogramme... still telling us to go that way huh... ok.. ill pull over... wait.. wow.. whats that?.. thats fantastic... ok, lets go look at that instead.

Thus is the story of how we found the Grace Dieu Priory, built in the 1200's and now little more than ruins, but just so beuatiful... and again i ask the question.. what the hell were these peope doing.. thinking.. talking about .. in the 13th century??

neverhteless, a spectacular walk toward it... glorious sights around it and a lovely moment of serendipity.

Just back form the Wednesday morning Car boot sale at Moira.. gues what we bought... lol... a game of Ker-Plunk!..heheheh  dont anyone say we arent living life on the edge :)
