A few months ago I visited Lacock Abbey in rural Wiltshire, England. Founded in 1232, it is descended from a nunnery dating back to 1100 and is now part of the Fox Talbot Museum and village managed by the National Trust. It was also used in the Harry Potter films. As you can see from the photos, we were lucky enough to visit at a time when there were few visitors. That in itself was a marvel. What I will never forget is the wonderful music that filled the air. So peaceful. Today I came across a CD that instantly transported me back to the day of our visit. Called simply, Voices: Chant from Avignon, by The Benedictine Nuns of Notre-Dame De L'Annonciation. For some, it may be the perfect Christmas gift...it was for me :) Follow here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Voices-Benedictine-Nuns-Notre-Dame-LAnnonciation/dp/B003VWDP1U/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1292540841&sr=1-1 Images 1-4 ~me Album cover as noted above Video: You Tube

We spent a long and lazy afternoon in the palace gardens. Having laid on a picnic spread that Marie Antoinette herself would have been proud of, we munched, sipped, paddled and snoozed. Giggling families and snuggling couples rowed by and we all merrily shouted “bonjour!” to each other.
