A Mediaeval Evening
... small, but it is a place to sleep and we are really only here for the village scenery...
We go out into the streets and it has just gone dark, the lights are beginning to illuminate the buildings and it really is a nice place to walk around and see the buildings as they have been for many hundreds of years.
