Sunshine and daffodils.

 

 My knight!

Many people probably thought I was a bit crazy coming here at this time of the year. To start with it was cold but things have become better and today was 18C. It's also a great time to see all the spring flowers and to quote Wordworth

' I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

The daffodils have been truly magnificent and have been having a great time dancing in the breeze!

Before leaving Devon I had another day of wandering around a National Trust Property this one was Killerton House at Broadclyst. It's an 18th century house with extensive grounds.

It was all rather grand but the flowers, paricularly the rhododendrons and magnolias were beautiful. There was an ice house which felt a bit spooky! Also on display, in the house, was sporting fashion through the ages - bought back memories - those horrible knit type swimmers for example!

My time in Devon was up and I was quite glad to hand the car back! So off I went on the train to Bath. Had a message later from Great Western railway to say that because one of the trains was later they were going to refund me £5! Don't get that in Sydney!!

After finding my hotel I had to find my way to the Thermae Spa to book a massage and time at the spa for my sis and I on Friday! I'm actually quite near to it and then did an in-depth exploration of where Jake could park and how she could get to the spa. I'm sure all my effort and many photos will be appreciated by her when we catch up on Friday - hopefully 😁😁

 I then found the Roman baths and went back in time. It is a fascinating history - to long to add here but we'll worth a visit. Looking at the hot water just flowing out of the channels is amazing. Hard to understand how it is happening! You can see how acid rain is affecting the carvings of the emporers.
