ABC Wednesday - E

E is for Exeter.  I visited Exeter in December for my birthday treat.  My son and his girlfriend visited the shops while I went to the Cathedral, we then met up and walked to the Quay area.

Exeter is a historic city in Devon, England. It lies within the ceremonial county of Devon, of which it is the county town as well as the home of Devon County Council. Currently the administrative area has the status of a non-metropolitan district, and is therefore under the administration of the County Council. The city is on the River Exe, about 37 miles (60 km) northeast of Plymouth, and 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Bristol. According to the 2001 Census, its population in that year was 111,076, while the mid-2010 estimate was 119,600.

Exeter was the most south-westerly Roman fortified settlement in Britain. Its Exeter Cathedral, founded in the early 12th century, became Anglican at the time of the 16th century Reformation.  (from Wikipedia)

ABC Wednesday - D

D is for Daffodil, I am looking forward to spring and seeing daffodils again.  Winter this year has been long and very damp, only one day of snow last Sunday which did not last.

These are wild daffodils in woods in Somerset, it was so unusual to see daffodils growing wild, there really was a ‘host of golden daffodils beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze,’(from Wordsworth’s poem)
