The day after the students left, Liz and Jen arrived for a visit. Later that week, we went hiking near Hutton-le-Hole, and Gillamoor. It was a beautiful day, almost Summer. (Rather unlike the rest of June here.) Our hike took us through some adventurous byways, in which we had to cross a field (we only saw the sign abou the bull after we’d crossed the field), and cross a river. Thankfully, a fallen tree provided a make-shift bridge. Below, a picture of picturesque Hutton-le-Hole, where sheep grazed the village green.
We also visited the churches of Saint Gregory Minster in Kirkdale (with an Anglo-Saxon sundial), and Saint Mary’s in Lastingham. The latter had a beautiful crypt, the resting place of Saint Cedd, and contemporary of Bede.
