Floral Bliss #39

Today I'm participating in Riitta's Floral Bliss link-up and sharing a walk around the courtyard gardens of our local abbey during high Summer.  We often go to the abbey and I've taken photos and shared on other occasions.  However, it's interesting to see what's growing during a different season as well as appreciate the backdrop and peaceful atmosphere of the abbey itself.

It was time to have lunch with wine from the monastery

to try and savour and the kiwi that was given to us. It was ripe and delicious
with honey and yoghurt.
