This is part of the ruins of Leicester Abbey. It was at one time a very important Cistercian Abbey. The remains you can see in the background were the walls of the guest house. The Abbey provided a welcome and hospitality for travelers. Now they provide a welcome for visitors to Abbey Park. I often walk through the ruins. When Zelda was a puppy I would take her into the ruins to do basic training. She still runs in there expecting to 'play' and receive treats when we are on our way home. Ginny our other dog has also adopted this practice. It seems a bit strange to think that where we play was one a house of prayer and reflection. It does show us though that things change. God never changes but He will change our lives if we allow Him to.
