Kirkstall Abbey

Kirkstall Abbey is a 12th century Cistercian Abbey right here in Leeds! It is about a 30 minute walk from where I live and I have been meaning to go see it since I got here. I finally went! It is now just ruins but it very well preserved. It was a beautiful sight in all the snow as well. The surrounding area has a great big park with the River Aire running alongside. After visiting the Abbey my friend and I tried to build a snowman but failed=( Its been a while since I have built one and since he was British he has never seen enough snow to be able to build one! We weren't the best pair to try and build a snowman. It just turned into a snowball fight that only lasted until our fingers were so cold we couldn't move them! Sometimes I miss the snow! But I will be happy to go back to So-Cal with the warm sunshine filled winters!
