London Trip: St. Dunstan in the East

I'm for the first time in England and will be spending a total of 6 days in London. The internet being as it is, suggested all kinds of London tips as soon as l started planning. Lots of budget-friendly or even free places were suggested in the dozens. 

I made a list of all the ones l liked online, and am slowly visiting them. St. Dunstan in the East was one of them, l found it absolutely magical. 

A green, quiet place in the middle of the city. Also much less crowded than other places near by, the church is located between London Bridge and the Tower of London. 

The church was largely destroyed in the Second World War and the ruins are now a public garden.

Originally built in about 1100, it was severely damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666, it was then patched back up.

In 1941 it was severely damaged again, but was decided not to be rebuild and was opened as a public garden in 1971.

This place definitely gets a 10/10 from me.

A little Road Trip; Nysa Ancient City

 

The other day we went for a little road trip for some vintage shopping. But we always try to make it a little vacation as well, there are so many places to visit here. 

We have an incredible amount of poppies this year, fields full of them, at the side of the roads, everywhere. They are usually there for just a week or two so I'm so happy l got to capture these cows in such a field.

It is also the time of year that storks come to have their babies. I one village that we past literally every electricity pole had a nest with a stork inside. 

I love that little birds make use of the huge nests and that storks mate for life and come find each other every year.

We also came across a tiny old abandoned mosque, abandoned buildings are not very uncommon but l can't remember to ever come across a mosque like this. 

She was a beauty inside and out, don't you just love abandoned places?

And after our little shopping we went to the ancient ruins of Nysa.

A gorgeous place with an amphitheater and many other ruïnes all spread out in a very green mountain. 

Except for a few cows there was no one there, perfect. It was quite a magical day, l was glad l took my camera to capture it 😊
