Kitty's village is so beautiful, and I just had to share! I didn't take any interior shots of the Abbey, but it's really pretty. The stone carving is also painted, but not completely -- this has such an interesting effect! Then the seamstresses have taken the motifs from the ceilings and worked them into the needlepoint kneelers and altar cloths; it's an amazing amount of work and such a beautiful result.
Sherborne itself has (apart from the all-important wool shop!) many thrift stores. I was fortunate enough to score two evening dresses for Eleanor, two ski outfits, and even (later, courtesy of Kitty!) an additional suitcase (gee, I wonder why I might have needed that?). It hosts a variety of restaurants (including Indian and Thai...we had a delicious Thai dinner one night) and tea shops (yes, afternoon tea was one of our activities!).

| The Abbey is towering over this small square. |

| The woodwork was a high gloss red -- gorgeous! |

| Yes, this building is lavender, and such a beautiful window! |
