The Mood of The Day. Impenetrable grey fog made Dartmoor an equally impenetrable mystery today. We went to Buckland Abbey. Built as a Cistercian monastery. Later home to Francis Drake. The perfect rendezvous. The jug says it all somehow. 🤍🦉🕊️#cistercianabbey #monasterylife #bucklandabbey #hilarybravo (at Buckland Monachorum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cos95SNLfAL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
