A Quick Trip to England

I had the opportunity last week to take a trip to England on business. The two things that were so noteworthy were that the flight from Germany to London (Stanstead) took less than two hours, and that my lodging accommodations were in the converted stables of a 12th century Gilbertine Monastery in beautiful Bedfordshire.

I spent a day and a half in England before coming back to Germany. While it was certainly short in duration it will certainly have a lasting impression on me.

Here is the outside view of the building. The brick addition is from 1740.

 

Here is a view of the front foyer. The architectural elements are throughout the building.

A glimpse of the stables where I stayed.

(These photos are not mine...credit lies elsewhere...teaches me to bring a camera in the future!)
