I still like to travel a little, but nothing like I used too. These days it’s mostly in the UK, and these images from London and the east of England, are typical of what I do today. Quick fire snapping, not necessarily in focus, it doesn’t matter, I’m still looking and learning at the age of 71.

Bury St Edmunds Abbey, Suffolk, another historic site I used to be responsible for.

Located in the heart of Bury St Edmunds, the abbey was once one of the richest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England. Its remains are extensive and include the complete 14th-century Great Gate and Norman Tower, as well as the impressive ruins and altered west front of the immense church.

The relics of the martyred Anglo-Saxon king St Edmund, whose remains were moved to this site in 903, and his shrine became a place of pilgrimage. The abbey itself was founded in 1020 and grew in power and wealth up until its suppression in 1539.

It is free to enter, open all year round and is managed by West Suffolk Council.
