Dear Oriens:
Welcome back! It is good to hear of your safe return.
I envy you your new location. Apart from the interest of the the town
itself, you are within easy range of a number of beautiful and fascinating
medieval sites. Aside from Byland, Rievaulx and Fountains abbeys there are
the priory at Finchale and the Carthusian remains at Mount Grace Priory;
not to mention York Minster, Durham Cathedral and Lindisfarne. All this
and such glorious countryside as well! I wish you much happiness in your
new situation.
Cheers,
Martin Howley
