We had booked to go to Kylemore Abbey one day but the roads were flooded so we managed to change for two days later. Our humans told us that they had visited here years ago when their children were the same age as their grandchildren are now. They spent the whole time muttering things like "This has changed," and "I don't remember this."
Kylemore Abbey, which is set in fantastic surroundings, was built as a private house in the mid 1800s and was visited by many famous people who I'd never heard of. After a bit, an order of nuns, whose convent was destroyed in Ypres in WW1, moved in and they set up a Girls School there. Madonna's daughter went there. The school has now closed but the nuns are still there. There is a lovely garden and they make jam and chocolate.
