Lacock NT (Saturday 26th February 2022)

Although it was a Saturday I went to Lacock because I wanted to see the Astronomy Photographer Of The Year exhibition in the Fox Talbot Museum at Lacock Abbey NT, due to close the following day. Actually it has had a stay of execution and won't close until May, but I was glad I went as it was quite sunny and in the grounds Spring has advanced. A fortnight ago one border looked like this whereas now it looks like this.

I kept an eye out for the Abbey cats, especially the Smokey-alike Abbess, but it was a bit too cold for them still.

The Abbey closed at 1600 hr so I spent a further half hour walking around the village, up to the ford at Bide Brook and back, and in East Street I caught site of this cat looking out from a windowsill.
