Exeter Cathedral
After departing Forde Abbey, we headed for our next hotel in Exeter. It was the most modern hotel I've stayed in so far, and I had a very comfortable room. We were only here one night, and the following morning, many of the other travelers were unhappy. The air was out in many of the rooms, and the porters did not bring up their luggage. Oops, I thought mine was fantastic. After checking in, I had an hour to relax before heading down for our group dinner. Following dinner, Kathy and I walked one block to see the magnificent Exeter Cathedral in twilight. It was closed but very beautiful, especially lit up at night. This cathedral was completed around 1400. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
Your roses are so pretty and seem very happy. Would love to have some but don't know if I would have enough sun. Just have so much shade. have a great week! Carol
ReplyDeleteGorgeous roses, Phillip!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phillip for a wonderful tour of your garden today. Although it was a wet and soggy day, everything looked wonderful and made the day one to remember for a long time. Would love to come back when hydrangeas are in bloom.

ReplyDeleteEvery year around this time I start wishing i'd planted some more roses in November or so. This year I really will.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are gorgeous. The pictures make them even more so!
ReplyDeleteSo you have a fondness for pink roses? They are all gorgeous, particularly the David Austins. I'm so sad, my David Austin didn't survive the winter. Boohoo!
