Autumn, North Ormsby Valley, Lincolnshire.
North Ormsby is a small village and a Civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire. It has a Church, St. Helen, a Grade II listed build which was built in 1848 by S. S Toulon. It was declared redundant in 1980 by the Diocese of Lincoln and sold for private residential use.
We have visited North Ormsby with all of our dogs over the years. It was always a favourite place in any season and Autumn was my wife's favourite time of year.
I haven't been there very often recently so Popcorn and I had a walk there last week to see the Autumn colours. The gales and rain had depleted the trees but some colour remained.

| The Beech trees still had some colour, they never completely loose their leaves. |

| A tractor was ploughing the land at the bottom of the valley and as the land rises up the other side the earthworks of the old Abbey can be seen. They are protected and only have sheep grazing on them. A Gilbertine Priory dedicated to St. Mary was founded here between 1148 & 1154, |
and dissolved in 1538.
The valley remains a favourite place but I don't have quite the same enthusiasm to visit these days.
