On Day 2 of Brenda's visit we went to Buckland Abbey ... where Sir Francis Drake lived for a time.  Prior to Henry VIII it had been a monastic abbey.

What a great place. But I was most taken with what a great space the medieval barn is.

I like dresses too for comfort especially when I travel on a plane. I don't feel as restricted LOL in those small seats in them. And they're great to be casual during the day or more dressy at night.
