We arrived at Whitby Abbey after the gates were shut, we managed a look over the fence & got to check out the shop. The lovely shopkeepers gave all the kids a go at their bow & arrow (think that's what it's called) & were nice enough to offer tasting of the wines & mead for sale. When I heard that that's what the monks drank I had to buy some just to get in the spirit of tasting the local food/ drink. Tastes like a honeycomb version of dessert wine
