Night at the Abbey!

Yesterday evening we met a man on a bicycle... As we were talking he asked us where we would be spending the night. He told us that Saint Bede's Abbey was a mile or so up the road. We continued to walk and came upon the lane to the Abbey and Academy. We walked in the doors and Mom and I went to find someone. We walked into the kitchen and talked to a nice lady told us to have a seat. After a few minutes the Father of the Monestary welcomed us to dine with them. They fed us Ham, green beans, sweet potatoes and Chocolate cake!;) they were some of the kindest most generous people I believe I have ever met! I believe there was around 9 or so Monks living there. They fed us breakfast and gave us fresh veggies for the road;) You couldn't help but see The Lord in them!
